Cotswold Canals in Pictures

Start of Cirencester Arm Infilling

The infilling of the Cirencester Arm starts at the Corin Medical building near the end of Love Lane.

This site covers the canal, but the former towpath continues alongside the building and then takes a right turn across the infilled canal to emerge onto Love Lane. This is next to the Huws Gray builder's merchant.

From this point onwards to the former canal basin and terminus in Sheep Street, the canal has been completely extinguished.

However, the route of the former towpath does still exist in places but is not easily identifiable without referring to an old map.
