Section of the towpath north of the eastern entrance to the tunnel between Br.46 and Br.47 at Husband Bosworth has been heavily damaged by escaping cattle. Our inspectors have been out to site and inspected the towpath and have deemed it unsafe for access between Bridge 46 and Bridge 47. The towpath remains closed until further notice
