Walks

There is easy walking to be enjoyed here as the towpath is predominantly flat and even, and wends its way through beautiful countryside. Much of the towpath has been resurfaced, making access easier for wheelchair users. However, care will be needed on the steeper slopes near the Waytown Tunnel.

It's also possible to follow some circular walk using the towpath and local network of footpaths. Leaflets are available from the Information Centre in Tiverton.

Directions

Grand Western Canal Country Park is on Canal Hill, off the B3391 to the east of Tiverton. Follow the clear tourist signs from the M5 Junction 27, the A361 from Barnstaple and the A396 from Exeter
