Route
The canal passes through Christleton, Waverton, Hargrave and Tiverton before passing Barbridge Junction, where the branch to Middlewich begins, and Hurleston Junction, which has given access to the Llangollen Canal since 1806. There is a junction with the line to Autherley just before the canal reaches the original terminus at Nantwich basin. In Chester the canal passes through a deep cutting alongside the city's Roman walls.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
