Ventiford Basin

Ogólne informacje

Since 1999 a group of enthusiasts have dedicated themselves to the preservation and restoration of the Stover Canal in South Devon, England. Built in the 18th Century, the canal was used for nearly 150 years to transport clay and other minerals from the Bovey Basin, and granite from quarries on Dartmoor, to the docks at Teignmouth. The Stover Canal Trust now works with local councils and other interested parties to preserve the line of the canal and to restore it as an amenity for the local community. Some lengths of the canal towpath form part of the Templer Way, a historic trail which links the canal, the tramway and other legacies of the Templer family.
