A short walk along the canal currently under restoration. This cache can be done with two others on a short walk.
The Thames and Severn Canal is a (former) canal in Gloucestershire in the south of England, completed in 1789. Its eastern end is Inglesham Lock near Lechlade where it connects with the River Thames. Its western end is Wallbridge near Stroud, where it connects with the end of the Stroudwater Navigation. It has one short arm (branch), from Siddington to the town of Cirencester.
Competition from the railways removed much of the canal's traffic by the end of the 19th century, and most of the canal was abandoned in 1927, the remainder in 1941. Since 1972, the Cotswold Canal Trust has been working to restore the canal as a navigation, with some sections now in water. The intention is to re-open the whole canal.
The cache is a regular lock-lock box and in a camo bag. Plenty of room for swaps and trackables.
Please take care on this path - it is slippery underfoot and there is open water below. Children must be closely supervised.
