Tixall Wide west of Great Haywood in Staffordshire
Tixall Wide west of Great Haywood in Staffordshire
This is the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal south-east of Tixall, near the southern end of Tixall Wide. This stretch of canal is highly popular for summertime mooring, especially on the Wide itself, past the bend ahead.

The currently defunct Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Society website stated that, "Tixall Wide, at the northern end (of the canal), is an idiosyncratic solution to the local landowner’s condition that his view must not be blighted by a canal. Clifford Thomas, owner of Tixall Hall (now lost) insisted the canal be disguised so instead the line here more resembles a lake than a channel."
