Wilts and Berks Canal Trust
Charity no.: 299595
This Group works on the creation of amenity areas based on the line of the Wiltshire and Berkshire Canal. It aims to eventually fully restore the canal to navigable standards, and reconnect it to the inland waterway network. The Amenity Group is careful to protect and encourage wildlife interests during the restoration process because of the role played by canals as a sanctuary for aquatic and wetland wildlife.
Activities and services:
- Guided walks along the canal
- Canal orientated restoration projects
