Cotswold Canals in Pictures

Ebley Confluence & Connecting Weirs

Before restoration, the canal at this point, with waters from Slad Brook, Painswick Stream & Ruscombe Brook, was diverted directly into the River Frome. It also marked the start of canal infilling from here to near Ryeford Double Lock.
