Away from the limelight of the
Phase 1A restoration programme,
a few 'unsung heroes' from the
band of Cotswold Canals Trust volunteers
undertake regular towpath improvement & maintenance
work along the canals.
The results
of this can be seen on the
Thames
& Severn canal at
Siddington,
at the eastern
end of the summit. Without
this ongoing effort, the area would
be 'submerged' in undergrowth,
reducing its appeal and amenity
value.
Siddington Bridge is a good point to
enjoy a walk heading east along
the Thames & Severn canal, and
with parking close by. From here
it is possible to walk the original
canal towpath as far as Latton,
near Cricklade (a distance of about
4.7 miles). Most of the canal still
exists, except for a short infilled
section near South Cerney.
