    Walking Holidays in Britain’s most Beautiful Landscapes Great Glen Way The Great Glen Way runs 73 miles following the Great Glen from Fort William on the Atlantic west coast to Inverness on the North Sea. This is a dramatic, but pleasantly relaxed, Scottish Coast to Coast route following one of the Highlands most celebrated glens. From Loch Linnhe on the Atlantic coast the route follows canal towpaths, loch shore paths and forestry tracks to reach Inverness, capital of the Highlands. This is a relatively easy, low level route providing great views of the Lochs of the Great Glen and fine panoramas of the surrounding Highlands. With good waymarking, this trail is a good introduction to the Scottish Highlands.

  • Stourbridge Canal That I Completed with the Royal Geographical Society

    Stourbridge Canal That I Completed with the Royal Geographical Society

    Gigmill Primary School 2021 1) How do you expect canals to evolve in the future? I see a bright future for them for two reasons in particular. First they are now an integral part of our community infrastructure. By that I mean canals are now used for a wide range of purposes other than just boats or fishing. Many towpaths now carry fibre-optic cables, some canals are Sites of Special Scientific Interest, some are used for hydroelectric power generation (I have actually been inside the one at Dudbridge built by Cotswolds Canals Trust); the list is a long one and is a far cry from when they were just used principally for transport. Second, they are part of a wider, more general development of community health and well-being. This is part of Government initiatives for ‘well-ness’ and canals provide a haven for relaxation, exercise and stress relief. Doctors are now even prescribing something like a walk along a peaceful canal to help counter depression and anxiety, rather than the use of medication. The use of waterways has changed beyond imagination within just a few years; remember it was not so very long ago that there were calls for them to all be filled in because they were no longer of use. Fortunately the restoration movement prevented this happening and, more recently, the transfer of control from the old British Waterways to the new Canal & River Trust in 2012. Learn more about CRT here: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/about-us 2) What made the Industrial Revolution so revolutionary? This is a broad question but essentially it was a period when our country turned on a huge scale – and in quick time – from a rural economy to an industrial one.
