Guided Walk: Dudley No. 2 Canal Trail

Saturday 21st February, 10:30am - 12:30pm

 

Join us for a guided walk exploring the industrial heritage of the Dudley No2 Canal.

This trail, which has been devised by Trustee Philip Adams and WMHT Heritage Assistant Poppy Griffiths, features paintings and drawings completed by Philip in the 1950s/60s. It highlights features which have changed or ceased to exist and the walk takes about two hours along the towpath providing a pleasantly changed landscape of scenery and history from Hawne Basin to Windmill End.

Joining us on the walk will be well-known poet Heather Wastie, who has written about this canal and will recite and play for us some pieces which reflect the canal’s past life. Philip Adams will speak about his art and reminisce about early experiences on the canal.

Please note that this walk will take approximately 2 hours. The path is mostly flat, aside from short up/downhill sections, however there are limited opportunities to rest and no toilet facilities once the walk has commenced.

There is a charge of £10 per person for this event.
