![Wendover Arm: “The Wides” almost choked with weeds. One of the reasons that the water in this section of the canal is so clear is that reed beds naturally “filter†suspended particles from the water.See [[1235539]] by Chris Reynolds – 01 April 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/13/1261384_41ffbb6b_120x120.jpg)


![A Coot ripples the Water of The Wendover Arm. Nature comes up with attractive patterns – if you keep your eyes open. In this case the tall straight trees on the far side of “The Wides†provide a linear pattern which is gently distorted by the small waves made by the coot.See [[1235539]] by Chris Reynolds – 01 April 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/13/1261380_03732f4f_120x120.jpg)
![Wendover Arm; Sluice Gate. The Wendover Arm was designed in 1797 to carry as much water as possible to what was originally called the Grand Junction Canal. However under certain conditions it might be necessary to drain the canal, or to allow surplus water to escape. This sluice would allow surplus water to escape in a controlled manner where it could be held in the Weston Turville Reservoir. Initially this would have been to supply mills in Aylesbury and for a few years it was pumped back into the canal.See [[1235539]] and [[1259380]] by Chris Reynolds – 01 April 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/13/1261368_24b92185_120x120.jpg)

![Wendover Arm : Approaching the Wides. Travelling towards Wendover this is the first you see of the canal widening out to form “The Widesâ€.See [[1235539]] by Chris Reynolds – 01 April 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/54/1265440_9ec87f61_120x120.jpg)


![Wendover Arm: The Southern End of “The Wides”. When the canal was built it cut across a shallow valley with a spring at the back – and the towpath acts as a low dam with (originally) the small lake behind forming an extra winding hole. The area is now almost completely overgrown with reeds, with boggy ground in the woods behind [[1230723]]. The woods, and the far side of the lake are in an adjacent grid square [[SP8709]].See [[1235539]] by Chris Reynolds – 01 April 2009](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/13/1261361_797204a4_120x120.jpg)



![Wendover Arm: Stream Channel from Sluice Gate. This Channel takes water from the sluice on the canal bank towards the Weston Turville Reservoir. Under normal circumstances it only carries a small amount of water.See [[1235539]] and [[1259380]] by Chris Reynolds – 01 April 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/13/1261371_70c5d85d_120x120.jpg)

![Wendover Arm: Backed by fields and the Chiltern Hills. For much of the length of the canal in this area the east bank is wooded, or at least there is a good hedge. Here there are only occasional trees, behind which is a prairie-like arable field, with a backdrop of the Chiltern Hills. The buildings in the distance are a firing range [[1232031]].See [[1235539]] by Chris Reynolds – 01 April 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/13/1261355_6c8f7258_120x120.jpg)
![Wendover Arm: Just like a chalk stream. This is one of the places where the canal takes on the character of a natural chalk stream which flows from deep springs all the year round. It is comparatively shallow with crystal clear water and marshy banks lined with reeds, and supports a wide variety of invertebrate life – forming the bottom of a natural food chain. Its importance in environmental terms should be judged by the fact that most of the natural chalk streams in the Chilterns have been significantly changed by human activity. For instance the headwaters of the rivers Ver and Misbourne have been totally dry for periods during the late 20th century because of over-extraction of water from nearby borings, while the river Gade has also been seriously affected and may well have died out in the upper reaches. In addition what remains of the river Bulbourne is now little more than an overflow and flood relief channel for the muddy water of the Grand Union Canal. See [[1235539]] by Chris Reynolds – 01 April 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/13/1261351_dafcec2d_120x120.jpg)

![Wendover Arm: A Marshy Area. Just north of the Railway footbridge there is a large marshy area to the west of the canal, adjacent to the wood, where an inlet has been flooded.See [[1235539]] by Chris Reynolds – 01 April 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/13/1261343_83113d8a_120x120.jpg)
