Waterway restoration

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

Waterways Watch

We are gathering evidence about campaigning issues and want you to let us know problems or concerns that affect everyone who is out and about on the waterways. 

Waterways heritage

Our waterways heritage is what makes Britain’s canals and rivers special and it must be actively protected – through the local planning system and sufficient funding – for the future.
