About the Cotswold Canals Trust
The Cotswold Canals Trust is restoring the Stroudwater Navigation and Thames & Severn Canal for the benefit of the public. This canal runs through Gloucestershire and part of Wiltshire traversing the glorious Cotswold Hills. The Trust has an active volunteer force working on several restoration projects. Sections of the canal are now in water and the Trust runs a trip boat on some of them.
The Aims of the Cotswold Canals Trust are :-
To promote for the benefit of the community, the reopening of the Cotswold Canals.
To promote the restoration of the two waterways to give a balance between the needs of navigation, development, recreation, heritage, landscape conservation, wildlife and natural habitats.
To promote the use of the towpath as The Thames & Severn Way.
To achieve restoration of the Cotswold Canals as a navigable route from Saul Junction to the River Thames.
