Wey and Arun Canal Camp 2024 - Week 1
Back

Camp Ref CC2024-03

The Wey & Arun Canal Trust aims to reopen the entire through route from the River Wey  Navigation, from just upstream of Guildford to the River Arun and the South Coast.

Several significant lengths have been completed, including the Loxwood Link length of around three miles and five locks plus shorter sections from Malham to Newbridge, on the summit at Dunsfold, and elsewhere. Both of the projects supported by 2024 Canal Camps will be helping to close the gaps between these existing restored sections.

The Trust has just acquired a length of canal and towpath, which leads on from the restored Loxwood Link length, and wants to bring the towpath up to scratch to match the existing sections.

The work on this and the next Camp will be laying 950 metres of towpath, using dumpers and excavators.

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
