Both Ends (12) : Wendover Arm

The Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal is an eleven mile now-partially watered canal which was originally built to act as a water feed from springs near Wendover to the Grand Junction Canal at Bulbourne. The canal was opened in 1799 as a fully navigable waterway though became partially unnavigable in 1904. The canal always having suffered from water leaks. Recent work has restored navigation from Bulbourne Junction as far as Little Tring Farm (just over two kilometres) and work is continuing.
