@afterconnery It doesn't look like that canal went to an awful lot of villages. And for those lucky enough to have been on the route who wanted to go to other places on the route, what would the journey times have been for passengers in the towpath era?

@hughster It was in the 1800's. You do realize there were billions less people around then right? There were not many other villages at that time. Try reading history more and stop being daft. Its ok to be wrong about something.

@afterconnery You were the one who told me canals connected all the villages together before cars:

We both know that villages weren't connected together in any way comparable to what's been possible since cars came along, and with current technology there's no way they could stay connected to anywhere near the same degree without them.

It's OK to admit that cars have positives in low density environments.
