Additional information

seen boaters trying to get to service station by scrambling up bank by sign when there is steps 30 yards towards Calveley

 
Navigational Notes

The service station and country store are on the other side of the A51 which can be a very busy and high speed road which has no pavements or street lighting.

There is NO direct access from the tow path due to the steepness of the bank and also because there are crash barriers. There are reports that there are steps slightly further down the canal towards Calveley - however you still have to climb over the crash barrier and walk on the road itself to get there
