The Broad Water near Tixall in Staffordshire
Looking south-west towards Stafford, the wide expanse of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal here is also known as Tixall Wide.
It is a very popular rural mooring venue. If you want a spot here during fine Bank Holiday weekends, arrive early!

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.
