Stroudwater Canal 23-10-11
A stroll from Ebley Mill to Ryeford and then back Dudbridge.  Also a visit to Wallbridge in Stroud.
 
    One of our most important neighbours, the completion of the Stroudwater and Thames & Severn Canals will have a major influence on the progress of on our own projects.  Not being an expert on the Cotswold Canals I'll keep my comments to the minimum.  I recommend that if you are interested in the progress of this restoration that you spend time exploring the route. It is very worthwhile.
