Play or Download the Audio Walk
This audio walk tells the story of one of the most important and interesting moments in the history of the town - the rise and fall of the Oakham canal. You will be accompanied on the 5 mile walk, through the town and along the towpaths, by characters from across the ages who will bring you right into the heart of the story, as well as exploring the diverse environment and wildlife that the Oakham Canal Green Corridor Project is working to improve.

"It being a lovely spring Sunday morning I decided to walk the canal and test the podcast in its entirety via Spotify. I can confirm that it all worked perfectly even when operated by a confirmed technophobe. I found it all very informative and also felt that the timings of each episode were well matched to the distances to be walked."
