Overview

Starting from the War Memorial car park we pass Lisieux Hall then Lucas Green to eventually join the canal at Botany. We then follow the canal tow path to the Top Lock then turn through Lower Copthurst to reach the "Whittle Tunnels". We pass through these dark tunnels then return to Whittle through the Whittle Hills.
