About the branch

IWA West Country Branch is very active thanks to its enthusiastic committee. As a branch we cover the inland waterways across Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset and we have lots going on –  from running regular canal clean-up work parties to leading local waterways campaigns.

See our report celebrating 50 years of waterway progress in Somerset and Mid-Devon – published February 2024.

A video of a recent (March 2024) litter clearance by the branch at Bridgewater is available here.
