Where was I? (Vol 7)
Discussion
Continued from over here:-

Rules:
- Must be your photo, not nicked off the net.
- The location must be in some way identifiable in the shot (think holiday forum rather than photography forum biggrin)
- Whoever gets it right gets to post one of theirs (or open it up if they want to).
- Wait until the current photo is guessed before adding one.
- When yours is identified, update your post with the answer.
- When guessing, please don't just chuck the photo into an image search tool. There's no fun in that.

I did think there'd be a new thread, so here are the two photos I've already posted.
And to summarise - we are in England, but not on any of the following canals.
And to summarise - we are in England, but not on any of the following canals.
- Kennet and Avon
- Basingstoke
- Stroud water
- Macclesfield
- Fucanal ???
- River Lea
- Shropshire
- Monty? Brecon
- Leeds and Liverpool
- Leicestershire (not a canal)
- Grand Union
Neither the Somerset levels or the Cheshire Ring.
Here are a few more details about the canal.
The principal engineer was James Brindley and has the oldest set of staircase locks in the country. The canal does not connect to another one and there are are only two hire boats on the whole canal. The canal no longer reaches the town that it is named after as a tunnel collapsed in the early 1900s.

You have it with the Chesterfield Canal. We went on it in May 2021 - first holiday since Christmas 2019. Was a fantastic week away with superb weather.
The whole canal is really peaceful - with only 2 hire boats and the only access from the River Trent it is not the most used canal. The lock is in the middle of Worksop - not a place to moor overnight, but this was the only location that we were told to avoid stopping at.
The flight of 20 locks in 1 mile was exquisitely beautiful, along with the stretches between weeping willows - but most of the canal is very shallow and weedy - as can be seen below. There is the Cuckoo Way which follows the tow path the whole length of the canal.
