The Grand Union Canal ascends
some 380 feet from its junction with the River Thames until, after a climb
of 56 locks in over 36 miles, it reaches the two and a half mile long Tring
Summit. The Tring Summit was completed in 1797. Although little used
for trade these days the canal is now used for recreation and is a heaven
for wildlife. |
