The Grand Western Canal
Introduction
The Grand Western Canal runs from Tiverton to Lowdswells, a total distance of 11.25 miles. The canal has been designated as the ‘Grand Western Canal Country Park’ and a local Nature Reserve. The entire length of the canal’s towpath is a public right of way, offering a flat and car-free trail that winds through beautiful Devon countryside and passes close-by to quiet, charming villages.
