Thames & Severn Canal
This beautiful canal through the Cotswolds once linked the River Thames to the River Severn. Now under restoration as part of the 'Cotswold Canals' route, the reopened canal will enable boats to navigate between England's two greatest rivers once again.
Abandoned for 70 years, the Thames & Severn Canal is now under restoration.
Slicing through the glorious rolling Cotswold countryside for 36 miles between Saul Junction on the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal and the Thames at Inglesham, the Stroudwater Canal and Thames & Severn Canal are now collectively known as the Cotswold Canals.
When fully restored the Cotswold Canals will reinstate the link between the Rivers Severn and Thames and, together with other lines, will form part of the Wessex Cruising Ring. Sapperton Tunnel on the Thames & Severn is amongst the longest in the country.
