Dist:0.2km<br/>Seen from the canal towpath. The Basingstoke Canal is unusual in having several of these 'attached' lakes. Presumably they were created by mineral extraction, and are kept as reservoirs for the canal?

Dist:0.3km<br/>Seen from the towpath. As the woodland floor is full of leaf litter and not much else, they are probably beech trees.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Basingstoke Canal Visitors Centre has this open all year campsite alongside the canal. Its an ideal place to stay when walking the canal. With Ash Vale train station nearby (10 min walk all on canal tow path) trains are easily caught to Woking just a 12 minute ride. A walk back along the canal to the campsite is a bout 12 miles easy flat towpath walking. From Ash Vale station, with a change you can easily get to Fleet that gives you a 12 mile walk back to Mychett canal centre

Dist:0.5km<br/>Quoting from http://www.basingstoke-canal.org.uk/cancent.htm "The Basingstoke Canal is declared by many to be Britain's most beautiful waterway. From the rolling North Hampshire hills to the dramatic flights of locks in Surrey, the tree-lined canal offers a variety of delights. The canal is a SSSI nature reserve, teeming with wildlife, while its 200-year old bridges and locks hold a surprise around every corner. Add in the colourful sight of traditional canal boats and you have a unique attraction all for free! The canal can be enjoyed from the 32-mile long towpath or by boat or canoe. The best place to start your visit, or to find out more is at the Basingstoke Canal Visitor Centre at Mytchett, right on the Hampshire and Surrey border."
