Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal near Great Haywood, Staffordshire
Looking west, about five hundred metres from Great Haywood Junction. Boat crews should note that there are no visitor mooring facilities on this canal close to the junction, and should proceed onto the Trent and Mersey canal, or moor here near Swivel Bridge, No 108.
Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal was opened in 1772, engineered by James Brindley. It cost a little over £100,000 at the time. It links the River Severn at Stourport to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Great Haywood Junction in Staffordshire. There are 43 locks (45 if you don't fancy the deep wide locks at Stourport) and the canal is 46 miles in length.
