We know that it's not always possible to visit the canal when you want to and so we've put together a virtual walk along the Macclesfield Canal in Bollington so that you can experience what the canal has to offer without leaving home.

Active Waterways Cheshire

This walk has been put together as part of our Active Waterways Cheshire programme.

While you're welcome to enjoy the route from the comfort of your own home you can also enjoy it in person.
