Day 2 of our trip down to Rickmansworth from Norbury Junction has been glorious!
Setting off around the village of Acton Trussell
Another little butty
Passing through Baswich on the outskirts of Stafford, the junction sign follows the line of the old link to the town (Stafford) via a lock down to the river. There are plans to have it reinstated.
Pretty setting
Everyone is enjoying the sunshine
Passing down through Tixall Lock, there is the lovely expanse of Tixall Wide, quite busy with moored boats
Approaching the junction at Great Haywood. We turn right here to get onto the Trent and Mersey Canal. Left takes the boater to Stone and Liverpool etc
The long bend into Great Haywood visitor area and Shugborough Hall and Museum
Beautiful scenery on the way to Rugeley
