Cotswold Canals Camp – Weymoor Bridge CC2024-17

The reason: stream crosses the canal via channel cut through the canal bed. Before the canal can be reopened, this stream needs diverting to run in the new culvert.

The restoration: Cotswold Canals Trust aims to reopen the route from the Thames at Inglesham to the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal at Saul, with a phased approach. Phase 1a from Stonehouse to Brimscombe is largely complete; work is in hand on Phase 1b to re-connect this to the canal system at Saul. Phase 2 will restore the eastern end from Inglesham to the Cotswold Water Park (including Weymoor Bridge). Finally, Phase 3 will tackle the difficult central section from the Water Park to Brimscombe.
