Welcome to Grand Union Canal

The Grand Union Canal in Buckinghamshire is a beautiful waterway that stretches for 28 miles from the outskirts of London to the town of Leighton Buzzard. The canal was originally built in the late 18th century to transport goods between London and the Midlands, and it played a vital role in the industrial revolution. Today, the canal is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists, who come to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and stunning scenery.

One of the highlights of the Grand Union Canal in Buckinghamshire is the picturesque village of Stoke Bruerne. This charming village is home to a number of historic buildings, including a working blacksmith's forge and a restored canal warehouse that now houses a museum dedicated to the history of the canal. Visitors can also take a trip on a traditional narrowboat, which offers a unique perspective on the canal and its surroundings.

Another popular attraction on the Grand Union Canal in Buckinghamshire is the town of Milton Keynes. This modern town was built in the 1960s and 70s, and it is home to a number of interesting landmarks, including the famous concrete cows and the impressive MK Theatre. The canal runs through the heart of Milton Keynes, and visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the towpath, taking in the sights and sounds of this vibrant town.
