Join Potteries Heritage Society on the trail of a pioneering canal engineer and a forgotten branch canal. Find out about the life of The Potteries' locally-born canal engineer and a lost canal hiding in plain sight. This three-mile walk has stunning views over the City and the Moorlands, descends 160ft (50m) into the valley of the River Trent, and along a section of the Caldon Canal, before returning to St Bartholomew's Church. Led by Andy Perkin.

Add additional names as appropriate. Use this space for anything else we may need to know or you need to ask.
Participants accept that the walk, like any other, involves potential hazards and take part at their own risk.
