The UK's network of canals was excavated by hand, using an army of navigators over the last 200 years or so. In contrast to their original purpose of moving heavy raw materials and delicate china, they now serve the angler, cyclist and boat lover with thousands of miles of leisure opportunities.Canals are often delightful havens of peace and quiet, places of reflection and wild life watching that provide a vital breathing hole for our cities and towns.
