Canal Extension Plans
More good news for the canal on the planning front in Swindon! This will extend the length in East Wichel right up to Croft Road, given that a short stretch between here & East Wichel, including a lock, needs constructing.
The Studley Grange footpath is now open and we are working on the towpath.
The branch will be present at the Royal Wootton Bassett Christmas Lights and Shopping Evening.
Don't miss out, santa's about!It's the time of the year, where Santa joins us on the canal. Trips must be pre-booked and spaces are limited, so don't risk being turned away like these fellows who thought they could just swan in.
Charity Walk for the trust
A Charity Walk through Swindon, following the route of The Wilts & Berks Canal, as safely as possible.
