We have come across the occasional signs over the years implying that the canal was closed to all customers when that was not the case. This has unfortunately led to many concerns from boaters and walkers about access, wondering why the canal was closed and about alternative routes both for walking and navigation. On investigation, we found that the canal closed refers to anglers not being able to fish a particular length due to an upcoming fishing competition.
