About
The Canal Walk is the short riverside path locals reach for when they want air without leaving the city, a tree-lined stretch along the Nore past old mill races and weirs below the castle. It is the most popular short walk in town, flat and easy, and it links up with the Lacken Walk and the wider Nore Linear Park if you want to keep going. Open access, free, and good in any season as long as the river is not in flood.
