Cotswold Canals in Pictures

Dr Newtons Way Bridge

Dr Newtons Way bridge was built in the 1980s and forms part of the Stroud bypass. The road uses a section of the original the canal bed and in 2012 a diversionary route was created as part of the Phase 1a restoration programme, which reinstated the lost section of canal.

The towpath crosses to the opposite bank of the canal here using the road bridge. See the map below for further guidance.
