Waterways > Grand Union Canal – Wendover Arm
The Wendover Arm was originally designed to carry water from springs near Wendover to the principal line of the Grand Junction Canal at Bulbourne in Hertfordshire. The cost to make the waterway navigable was negligible and so in 1799 boats began to use the stretch to carry coal, timber, straw and manure.
The restored length of the Wendover Arm is gradually being extended with regular work parties undertaking substantial works along a former dried-out and leak-prone section of the Arm, towards Aston Clinton and the A41 bypass where navigable headroom has been provided under the new road. The canal is in water from here all the way through the original terminus wharf at Wendover.
