Bude Canal Trust

The Bude Canal Trust owns a continuous 5-mile length of the Bude Canal, the length known as the Aqueduct branch. The Trust is the major single landowner of the canal, and exists to retain and enhance the historic interest of its length and to manage it appropriately for its wildlife importance and low-key recreation potential.
