A place to explore

Little Venice

Where two canals meet in a wide pool by Warwick Avenue, with a towpath running north east from it.

3 spots in walking order, about 20 minutes. 0 of them have something to ask this week.

All three are around the pool and the first stretch of towpath. The towpath does not continue under the road, so turn back at the tunnel.

Spot 1

The Pool at Browning's Island

The wide pool by Warwick Avenue, with the small tree-covered island in the middle of it.

Nothing to ask here this week. The question at this spot is about mute swan, and it opens again in week 38 of the year.

Spot 2

The Willow at Blomfield Road

The big weeping willow leaning out over the water on the Blomfield Road side of the pool.

Nothing to ask here this week. The question at this spot is about weeping willow, and it opens again in week 40 of the year.

Spot 3

The Towpath Wall below Warwick Avenue

The brick wall on the towpath side, just after you drop down from Warwick Avenue.

Nothing to ask here this week. The question at this spot is about the canal's waterline, and it opens again in week 38 of the year.

Rewyld asks you one of these where you already are. Open Rewyld

Each question was written to a naturalist review, and the ones that could not be stood behind at this site were cut rather than softened. Every question asks you to look, never to pick or to touch.
