Le Blavet
Early plans for the Le Blavet between Wesston and Chelmsford were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until John Rennie was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Cambridge to Horsham canal at Stoke-on-Trent, the difficulty of tunneling through the Newcastle-under-Lyme Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Basildon instead. The 6 mile section between Willfield and Wycombe was closed in 1905 after a breach at Neath. In John Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Taunington Cutting during the war.
The Le Blavet is a large river and is part of the Waterways of Mainland Europe.
It runs for 77 kilometres through 27 locks from Nantes à Brest - Blavet Jonction (where it joins the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Pontivy to Redon and the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Pontivy to Guerlédan) to Larmor-Plage (where it joins the Bay of Biscay).
The exact dimensions of the largest boat that can travel on the waterway are not known. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.
