*************
Tixall Wide, also known as Tixall Broad[1] or The Broad Water,[2] is a body of water that forms part of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal near Tixall in Staffordshire, England, to the south of the former Tixall Hall.[3] The hall was, at that time, owned by Thomas Clifford, the fourth son of Hugh Clifford, 3rd Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, and the grounds had been designed on the advice of the Landscape architect Lancelot ""Capability"" Brown.[1] The lake was probably created during the construction of the canal in 1771. It is said he ""gave permission for the canal to pass through his land on the condition that it was made...wide enough to look like a lake from the house"",[1] and thus in order not to spoil the view.[4]
It has also been suggested that the canal was routed to utilise a lake that already existed, in which the angler and writer Izaak Walton had learned to fish.[5]
