The Wides is one of the few remaining wetlands crossed by the Wendover Arm canal. Streams flowed through the marshy grassland of Halton Moor to join the Wendover Stream and eventually the River Thame. It was here, in 1824, that two young women (one soon to be married) were drowned when their punt sank.
