Canal History (2016)

The Bude Canal has a history spanning some 190 years. Although never the centre of an area of intense activity, it does have a history as rich as many other canals. This historical thread continues to the present day, despite the canal no longer operating as a working waterway. The range of its uses and the heritage engineering features within it mean that its history continues to unfold and fascinate.
