Locks and Legacy: A Walk Through Bristol, PA

Join us for a 9-mile walk in Bristol, PA, starting near the southern end of the Delaware Canal —a historic route that runs north past New Hope to Easton. We’ll follow the canal through scenic sections with old stone locks, traces of 19th-century industry, and views of the Delaware River. Along the way, we’ll pass brick mills, a clock tower, and Bristol’s historic downtown, full of colonial charm. There will also be time to stop at the Amish Market for snacks or lunch.
The walk ends in Tullytown, where return trains are available.
