In between Cold Hiendley Bridge (near the reservoir) and Old Royston High Bridge, the canal is still in water and, like much of the canal
northwards towards Walton, is set in very pleasant countryside.
Cold Hiendley Bridge, the
northernmost point on this section, is about 8 km (5 miles) from the
River Calder and the section is approximately 1.5 km (1 mile) in length. The tow path is part of the Trans Pennine Trail and National Cycle Route 67.

7. Just to the north
of Old Royston the canal passes through the Notton Cutting. There is still a fair amount of water In this pleasant stretch
of the canal.

8. Another view of the
cutting. This cutting
is through shale, unlike the Stoneheaps Cutting which is through rock. It
is wide and many trees grow along the sides of the cutting.

10. The High Bridge at Old Royston. This photograph was taken from the south side of the bridge. The Trans Pennine Trail parts company with the canal just to the north of the bridge and continues towards Royston alongside the railway line from Notton Bridge. The footpath to the south of the bridge continues along the tow path for a while and then leads into old industrial land at Royston.

11. The Trans Pennine Trail and National Cycle Route 67 leave the tow path at this point and, after a short stretch on the road in Old Royston, continue southwards towards Royston and South Yorkshire.
