Summary

Description
English: Thames and Severn canal looking south From above the south portal of Sapperton tunnel, this is the Thames and Severn canal heading towards Cirencester and the Thames. The canal is still in a deep cutting here, and in contrast to Roger Cornfoot's winter picture the spring foliage will soon engulf the whole cutting. This section of the canal, even in its working days, was always prone to water shortages, because of the porous limestone that it crosses here. Thus the channel has been concrete lined to try and retain the water level in this critical summit pound. There is a long term plan for full restoration.
