A restored stretch of the Wilts & Berks Canal ends abruptly here at the Templar's Firs slipway. The slipway was built in 1995 for launching the trip boat of the local branch of the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust, but trips were found not to be financially viable, so were discontinued. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pasmith.wbcanal/ml/sect22.htm http://www.wbct.org.uk/
