You can almost forget the city is so close as you amble along a canal corridor that teems with wildlife and nature.
Compton is where the very first sod of earth for the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal was dug in 1766. Now, lifetimes on, boats potter around the water for fun. And if you haven't had your fill of boats at the end of this walk you can always keep walking.
