Caldon canal east of Birches Head, Stoke-on-Trent
The River Trent meanders northwards through scrub and grass land about fifty metres off to the right.
The Caldon Branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal opened in 1779. It runs eighteen miles from Etruria in Stoke-on-Trent, where it leaves the Trent and Mersey Canal. It terminates at Froghall about five miles south-east of Cheddleton. The canal has seventeen locks and the 69 metre long very low Froghall Tunnel, unusable by many narrowboats. The canal did originally continue through to Uttoxeter, but the section beyond Froghall was closed by the late 1840s, much of its course being filled in to construct a railway.

Canal maintenance north-east of Stoke-on-Trent
Looking north as the Caldon Canal meanders towards Milton, Stockton Brook, Endon, Cheddleton and Froghall. The canal passes through a long strip of deciduous woodland which includes the track bed of the disused railway between Caldon Low and Stoke (off to the left), and the slopes down to the River Trent (off to the right).
New metal piling is being installed by the towpath, but for now they've stopped for lunch!
