Our trail follows a 1.2 mile (2km) mile section of the Montgomery Canal. There are 10 stop points, each marked with a QR code.

You need a free QR reader app (or an NFC-enabled phone) to find out what the code contains. Search for ‘QR reader’ on your smartphone AppStore/Market, or go to www.i-nigma.com.

At each stop, scan the QR code to find out fascinating facts about the canal and its wildlife.

Fun for children

Water warning

Canals are fun places, but they can also be dangerous. Remember:

• Stay SAFE – Stay Away From the Edge
• Never swim in canals – swimming pools are much nicer!
• Keep off the ice as you might fall through

Access for all

Most of the canal is accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs, but in order to avoid the 1:4 gradient down from stop point 1, you might want to start at trail at stop 2. 

Remember

• Stay SAFE – Stay Away From the Edge
• Never swim in canals – swimming pools are much nicer!
• Keep off the ice as you might fall through
