Stoke-on-Trent Heritage Canoe Trail

About

Stoke-on-Trent's Heritage Canoe Trail has been created for paddlers of any ability to enjoy a beautiful and historically rich section of our waterway. Special route markers guide you along the 20 mile canal-based route from Stoke-on-Trent to Froghall in the Staffordshire Moorlands, along which you'll encounter a variety of water features and many historical landmarks.

Download the guide to the trail below (underneath the map) which breaks the route into short sections, each providing technical details regarding navigation and portage points plus safety advice and helpful tips. You'll also find a wealth of heritage information which gives a unique glimpse into the area's history. Whether you intend to do the full route as a challenge in one day, make a weekend of it (using the identified overnight camp sites) or enjoy one of the five short routes, the guide will help you to make the most of your paddle.
