Here at Marsh Lane Narrows, the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, carved as a cutting into the sandstone bedrock, is much less than the width of two boats. Overhanging trees contribute to making the route very shady and damp. Navigators cannot see whether a boat is approaching from the other direction, but there are two small passing places.
