Restoring 70 miles of canal and towpath for the benefit of local communities, wildlife and leisure
Come and join us.

There will be a further opportunity to take an autumnal trip along the canal this October on the wheelchair-accessible 'Mary Archard'.

Trips will be from Pewsham Wharf on Saturday October 6th, next to the pop-up café where there will be refreshments available. They will run from 10:00am to 3:00pm, there is no charge, but donations would be very gratefully accepted.

Also on this day, there will be a walk from the centre of Chippenham, lead by the Chairman of the local Branch, following the historic line of the canal to Pewsham Wharf. More details on our Events page. Or for more information contact Richard Evans at rdsnave@hotmail.co.uk or Val Melville at val.melville@wbct.org.uk
