Cotswold Canals in Pictures

Walk Bridge, Whitminster

Walk Bridge is the last major structure on the Stroudwater Canal when travelling west towards Saul Junction. After canal abandonment, the former swing bridge was replaced by a fixed low-level concrete and brick bridge that is still in place today - obstructing the canal to boat traffic.

The bridge is due to be replaced with a new high-level structure by Gloucestershire County Council as part of the Phase 1B restoration programme.
