How to get there - From Denham village, north on A412, and then right onto Moorhall Road once under the railway. Put in at canal bridge after 1 mile - public car park a little further on (map)
Suggested Launch Site - Easy put in from canal towpath
General
Description - A broad but fairly busy canal in a surprisingly rural area for a trip inside the M25. You can never quite get away from the noise, even if the motorway is a couple of miles away! There are four locks on the way to Batchworth which need to be portaged. A return journey is about 8 miles. Local disused gravel pits offer bird-watching opportunities. (route)
Going south would also be possible, but looks increasingly industrial
