View on the map. Visit the website: www.brocross.com/iwps

Bugsworth Basin was the largest and busiest inland port on Britain's narrow canal system and the only one to survive intact. It was restored over three decades and makes for a great visit. There is also the remains of the Peak Forest Tramway which connected the Basin to local quarries. I definitely recommend visiting the Navigation Inn near the point.

You forgot to mention the blue peaked caps , the long shaggy beards, the smell of oil rags and coal fires and the real ales and great food at the pub; The Navigation Inn.
