Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section)
Early plans for the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) between Barnsley and Bernigo were proposed by Henry Thomas but languished until James Brindley was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Yates made a model of Rotherham Embankment out of matchsticks.
The Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) is a broad canal and is part of the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation).
It runs for 6 miles and 4¾ furlongs through 12 locks from Walk Bridge (where it joins the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Navigable Section)) to Site of Entrance to Wallbridge Basin (where it joins the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide section)).
The maximum dimensions for a boat to be able to travel on the waterway are 68 feet long and 16 feet wide. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.
This waterway is excluded by default from route planning with the following explanation: "under restoration"
