General
Description - A broad but fairly busy canal in a surprisingly rural area for a trip inside the M25. You can never quite get away from the noise, even if the motorway is a couple of miles away! There are four locks on the way to Batchworth which need to be portaged. A return journey is about 8 miles. Local disused gravel pits offer bird-watching opportunities.
Going south would also be possible, but looks increasingly industrial

I never found a public car park. The car park at Harefield Marina is private and has lockable gates. There were some breaks in the double yellow lines on the short stretch of road between the marina and the bridge where people parked, and the pub has a large car park.
