Tixall Wide is a favourite location for many boaters. The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal opens out unexpectedly around half a mile west of its junction with the Trent and Mersey Canal at Great Haywood. Also known as "The Broad Water", the wide was created to give the impression of a lake when viewed from the nearby (but now gone) Tixall Hall.

Tixall
Tixall Lock on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, opened in 1772. This is the first lock encountered after leaving the Trent and Mersey Canal. Half a mile south from nearby Tixall Bridge, good walking is to be had around Milford Common at the northern end of Cannock Chase.
