The Louth canal was created during the 18th century as a means of transporting cargo. Now it's more
likely to be used for dog walking, fishing, or other leisure pursuits. It has eight locks, but they have
fallen into disuse and the canal is no longer navigable by boats.
It's home to a small number of
swans, as well as other water birds such as ducks and moorhens.
