The Aylesbury Arm connects the Grand Union Canal at Marsworth Junction, via the villages of Wilstone and Puttenham, to the centre of Aylesbury. Completed in 1815, the original ambitious (if not grandiose) plan was to link the Grand Union Canal, via the River Thames at Abingdon, to the Kennet and Avon and Wilts and Berks canals, but all that was completed was the 10 km spur to Aylesbury. Today, the canal basin at Aylesbury forms the focal point for a major city centre development by the Council and the British Waterways Board.
