The Grand Western Canal country park weaves its eleven miles through mid Devon from Tiverton right to the border with Somerset. It makes for easy level walking or cycling, with a profusion of wildlife, fishing or even a trip on a horse drawn barge. These are some of the things I saw today.

The Tivertonia looked like it was being prepared for the start of the new season and my photo didn’t turn out well so this is one I found,courtesy of the bbc, of the barge on a summer trip.
