The Grand Union Canal stretches 137 miles from London to Birmingham and is the longest in Britain. This map focuses on the central section, specifically Braunston to Kings Langley. Beginning at Braunston, the route heads southwest across the rural Northamptonshire region, passing through Weedon Bec, Blisworth, and Stoke Bruerne before reaching Milton Keynes. The canal runs through the city, mostly hidden by the lush greenery of parklands. Upon exiting the city, it continues southwest through Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and the Chilterns before arriving at Hemel Hempstead, which marks the easternmost point on the map. The map also includes the Northampton, Aylesbury, and Wendover Arms, as well as the beginning of the Leicester Line.
