North Wilts Canal
The North Wilts Canal provided a connection between the Thames & Severn and Wilts & Berks canals. It was abandoned at the same time as the latter.

From the Thames & Severn Canal to the Wilts & Berks Canal
The North Wilts Canal provided a connection between the Thames & Severn and Wilts & Berks canals. Part of the route has been built upon, but restoration is proposed as part of the project to restore the main line of the Wilts & Berks Canal.
Moredon Lock and Aqueduct have largely been restored and provide a showpiece length.
Waterway notes
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.
LOVE YOUR WATERWAYS
Britain's waterways are vital; together we can campaign for them now and for the future.
