Temporary access along the towpath due to vegetation management works and machine movements. Site staff will be on hand to help control towpath traffic when necessary.

The towpath restriction will begin at the disused lock on the Fairies Hill Cut and continue to Woodnook Lock.

Please co-operate with requests to wait from site staff. They will allow you to pass when it's safe to do so.
