When we moved I was thrilled to find out that we would be living right next to a canal. You can’t see it from our house because of the trees. The canal path is on the opposite side, so we can’t go straight down to it even though we know it is there. What we can do though is walk a little way up the street and find the steps down to the to path. So far we have only walked one small stretch but I am hoping to go a little further one day soon. We could walk all the way into the city if we wished…might take us all day though! I do have a friend who also lives by the canal, she walked along it to visit me last week, we estimated half an hour but with a toddler and pushchair it ended up taking an hour. I’m going to attempt a visit in return and hopefully do it a little quicker.

How lovely to have the best of both worlds so close to your new home! What a fab walk to school for the children, as you say you now have lots of rural spots to explore and discover for some great adventures. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
It looks beautiful! My MIL has a canal boat and we've had a few holidays on it. I really love canals.
That must be the coolest walk to school that I have ever seen. I bet the kids love exploring the canal walks to and after school x
Very much like the idea of walking the kids to school along a canal ! I used to work in Camden and the newsroom was right by a canal – loved the few times I had time to follow it for a nice long walk.
