Cotswold Canals Trust

Discover the Cotswold Canals with the Cotswold Canals Trust, a local charity powered by volunteers restoring the historic waterway from Saul Junction to Lechlade, linking the Rivers Severn and Thames. Explore our beautiful canals by joining a boat trip or guided walking tour, or simply enjoy a peaceful stroll along the restored towpaths.

Visit our welcoming Visitor Centres at Saul, Stonehouse, Stroud, and the Cotswold Lakes to learn about the canal’s history, wildlife, and ongoing restoration. Browse our charity shops for books, gifts, and souvenirs – every purchase supports our work. With over 350 volunteers, we’re always looking for new people to join our friendly team, from helping on the water to supporting events and visitors.

Become a member to receive updates, our quarterly magazine, and exclusive invitations. Every visit, walk, and purchase helps keep this living waterway thriving.
