Canal and River Walks by Train

Towpaths and riverside paths are flat, easy to follow and often start right by the station. These are the 77 canals and 167 rivers in England, Scotland and Wales with at least one walk from a station: from one station to another, or out and back.

Pick a canal or river for its walks, or sort the table below to find the stations closest to the water.

Best for walkers first: gold, silver and bronze rate the hills, landscape and trails near each.

Walking distances are estimates from the straight-line distance and the type of ground, not a measured route. Check a map before you set off.
