It is located where the River Misbourne and the River Colne meet. There is a lot to see around the park from the picturesque village of Denham, the wildlife and the beach. You also find a playground and a cafe, ideal for a family day out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Continue your walk down the Grand Union Canal, with houseboats along the towpath ducks and swans swimming along. You then arrive at Denham Deep Lock, the deepest lock on the canal with an 11 feet drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">A little bit further down, the path stops and you need to cross over the Bridge 183 of the Grand Union Canal to continue the walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-columns wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:60.04260%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-14.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Colne Valley Regional Park - Bridge 183 over the Grand Union Canal\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4843\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4843\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-14.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-14.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-featured-2-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-featured-2-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-featured-2-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Colne Valley Regional Park - The grand union canal with a houseboat moored on the bank view from the top of bridge 183\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"4864\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4864\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-featured-2-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-featured-2-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:39.95740%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-10.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Colne Valley Regional Park - boat coming out of the mist on the Grand Union Canal\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4848\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4848\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-10.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-10.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Smile.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"The word smile carved in the wood with a smile like a smiley face\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4846\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4846\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Smile.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Smile.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You then walk under the A40. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><em>You are in Uxbridge.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uxbridge\">Uxbridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As you walk alongside the canal towards Uxbridge town centre, you can see people in their gardens on the opposite bank.

The town played an important role during the English Civil War. King Charles I held unsuccessful negotiations with the Parliamentary Army in a public house in Uxbridge, now renamed the Crown &amp; Treaty. The town fell into decline and in the nineteenth century was described as unsafe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Grand Union Canal helped the town to develop, however, the opening of the railway in nearby West Drayton in 1838 slowed down the economy. When the Metropolitan Line Station in Uxbridge became operational in 1904, it gave the town a new revival. Uxbridge is nowadays a retail and commercial centre as well as the home of Brunel University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">When you reach Uxbridge Lock, the path stops. Walk over the bridge to get to the opposite bank. You know that you are near the end as the vegetation alongside the canal has been replaced by blocks of flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-18.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Colne Valley Regional Park - Uxbridge lock view from the bridge\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4839\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4839\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-18.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-18.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-17.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Colne Valley Regional Park - Uxbridge blocks of flats view from the bridge\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4840\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4840\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-17.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Colne-Valley-Regional-Park-Grand-Union-Canal-17.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">At the end of the towpath, you find a pub called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chefandbrewer.com\/pubs\/middlesex\/swan-bottle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Swan &amp; Bottle<\/a>, with an outdoor space overlooking the canal.
