Join us for a relaxed networking walk around Foxton Locks on Saturday 16th August. This 3-4 mile walk along the Grand Union Canal will explore the historical development of the canals and their significance to England’s transport, logistics, and supply chains. The route includes ten locks and the disused Foxton Inclined Plane, built in 1900.

We’ll set off at 11:00am from the Top Car Park and take a break around 1:30pm for lunch at a local hostelry. The walk will be at a comfortable pace, with plenty of opportunities to stop and explore interesting features along the way.

Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear, as the route includes canal paths, cobbled bridges, and steps. If you have any accessibility needs, please contact us.

Everyone is welcome, and new faces will be met with warmth and friendship!
