Peak Forest Canal
The towpath alongside the Peak Forest Canal had been closed in January SJ9495 : Towpath closed due to a landslide near the Adamson Industrial Estate. I don't know if it has been repaired yet but the gate is lying flat on the ground.
Peak Forest Canal

The Peak Forest Canal runs for 15 miles between Ashton under Lyne and Whaley Bridge.

It was built to link the Ashton Canal with the tramways that brought limestone from the Peak District quarries.

The Lower Peak Forest Canal forms part of the "Cheshire Ring".
