NEWCASTLE UNDER LYME CANAL ROUTE

The canal left the town centre heading south east on the west side of London Road (A34).  Near here is the newly developed Lyme Valley Park - Lyme Brook runs to the west of the canal line.

A little further south there is the Jewish cemetery and a bowling green. The canal ran behind these into a cutting surrounded by a small wood.
