The Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal

A historic waterway that played a crucial role in Wendover's industrial and economic development. Originally opened in 1797, it was built to supply water from Wendover's natural springs to the main canal and to transport goods such as coal, timber, and agricultural produce.

Although commercial use declined in the 19th century due to leakage issues, the canal remains a cherished feature of the local landscape. In recent years, it has been the focus of a dedicated restoration project aimed at reviving its natural beauty and promoting it for leisure activities such as walking, boating, and wildlife conservation.

The canal is a testament to Wendover’s industrial heritage and a valuable asset for recreation and community engagement today.
