Campsites near canals

Hatton Country World CL, south east of Birmingham is a short walk to the Grand Union. I can recommend the C&CC sites at Devizes for the Kennet & Avon. if you are independently minded, you can park overnight on the north side of the canal at the top of the Caen Hill flight. Payment at the tea shop.

Thank you very much for all your suggestions. I now have so many Canal bike trips to choose from. I will look into them all and decide which ones to do this year, and the rest in the future. I can’t wait to get back on my bike, thanks again.

We dismounted and walked over it, great with a canal boat going alongside you at the same pace.

Isn't that more correctly the Llangollen arm of the Shropshire union. It would be a great ride into Llangollen.

Correct peedee,  we did just that cycled all the way to Llangollen, then went to the train station to do the ride on the steam train. A very nice man there let us put our bikes in the office and he looked after them for us. 

Thanks for coming back on here, your post and the interesting replies have  given me a few ideas for holidays too. 

There is Bridge House Marina near Garstang  It's a few years since we stayed there, but we enjoyed it.  It's on the Lancaster Canal.

Also stayed at Overwater Marina CL mentioned up thread, last September.  The towpath to Audlem and beyond is surfaced, but in the direction of Nantwich it's just a grassy path with some rough sections, so perhaps not suitable for cycling.  We only cycled to Audlem and past, which is fine.  The next day we were there it was that windy, we nearly got blown over walking around the CL, so didn't bother with the bikes. Didn't fancy a dip in the canal!

There is a small site at New Mills Marina on the Peak Forest Canal.

The C&CC have a site at Wolverley by the Worcestershire & Staffordshire Canal.  You can cycle to Kidderminster one way and Kinver the other direction.  A mixture of countryside and industrial.

Not sure if they are canals and therefore qualify  but lots of sites near the Norfolk Boards

Just remembered that we walked past a site near the Llangollen canal, just a stones throw from Llangollen itself,  some years ago. I think it's Wern Isaf Farm, looking at Google. It's about half a mile from the canal.
