Weymoor Bridge

 

        At the beginning of 2014 Cotswold Canals Trust assisted by WRG started to rebuild Weymoor Bridge.  This the bridge the crosses the Thames & Severn Canal to provide access to Latton Basin and the surrounding fields.  Not only is it a very important step forward for CCT, but it also raises the profile of the Basin and North Wilts Canal.  It may not be too long in the future before boats will be using the T&S, so what better than to restore the old junction bridge and aqueduct over the Mill Leat. It is then a relative easy task to restore the canal to the north of Cricklade: a nice diversion for boaters.
