Update history

Thu, May 1

The Bridgewater Canal is currently closed between Agden Bridge No. 26 and Dunham Town Bridge No. 27 due to a breach. This section is managed by the Bridgewater Canal Company, not the Canal & River Trust. However, as this canal connects to our network and forms part of the Cheshire Cruising Ring, we are liaising closely with them.

Nearest Winding Holes:

  • West of the Breach: Between Oughtrington Bridge No. 24 and Lymm Bridge No. 23.
  • East of the Breach: Between Seamon's Moss Bridge No. 29 and Broadheath Bridge No. 30.
