This is the reverse view to SP6262 : Grand Union Canal: Reach in Brockhall and the same comments apply!

"Visually this looks to be an idyllic reach, running through the Brockhall Estate. Alas the distant continuous roar of traffic on the M1 Motorway to the right gets ever closer as one heads northwards, sporadically interrupted only by the nearby roar of trains on the West Coast Main Line to the left. The wood to the left is called Canal Lower Belt."

Except of course both the railway and the wood are now to the right and the motorway to the left!
