A walkway along the top of the weir that separates the Grand Union Canal and the River Soar allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross from the west bank and thus to access a number of footpaths on the eastern side of 'the Grand Union' and the Soar Lane cul-de-sac. The canal footpath disappearing into the distance leads to the stretch of canal alongside Castle Gardens and near to the De Monfort University site.
