Welcome to Caldon Canal

The Caldon Canal is a beautiful waterway that runs through the heart of Staffordshire, England. It is a branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal and was originally built in the late 18th century to transport coal from the local mines to the Potteries. Today, the canal is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists who come to enjoy the stunning scenery and peaceful surroundings.

One of the highlights of the Caldon Canal is the Churnet Valley section, which is known for its picturesque views and tranquil atmosphere. The canal winds its way through the valley, passing through charming villages and historic landmarks such as the Consall Forge and the Froghall Wharf. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the towpath, stopping to admire the wildlife and take in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Another popular attraction on the Caldon Canal is the Leek Branch, which runs from the main canal to the town of Leek. This section of the canal is particularly scenic, with its narrow locks and pretty bridges. Visitors can explore the town of Leek, which is known for its historic architecture and vibrant arts scene. The canal also passes through the beautiful Rudyard Lake, which is a popular spot for fishing, boating, and picnicking.
