Water flow into the Canal has been measured since 1844 – and the records provide one of the longest continuous records of water flow in the world. See Image

This sign was erected to record the Arm's 200th Anniversary. Photographs of interesting features all along the canal will appear in the following geographs. Image The Towpath is part of the Aylesbury Ring Walk. This section starts with the former Wendover Wharf and a winding hole, and also includes a wooden footbridge on the site of an earlier railway bridge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halton_Railway Image This section provides a pleasant stream-side walk with extensive marsh on The Wides (spreading into Image and crossed by the Perch Bridge). Image A pleasant rural chalk stream with no particular canal features. Image Passes through the village of Halton, with a modern road bridge and a highly ornate bridge built by the Rothschilds of Halton House. It also includes Harelane Bridge. Image A pleasant rural chalk stream with no particular canal features. Image This disused section of the canal includes “The Narrows” and Wellonhead Bridge Image This section of the canal is watered, with fields on one side and 20 century house (Aston Clinton) on the other. At Buckland Wharf there are two road bridges which will be an obstacle to navigation when Phase II to reopening the canal is completed. Image This includes the section of the canal which was relocated and refurbished with the building of the Aston Clinton Bypass. It includes an original road bridge at Drayton Beauchamp. Image This section is in the process of being restored. The first short section was filled in November 2007 and work is continuing back towards Little Tring. Image Currently (2009) the “dry” section of the canal is a ditch of glutinous mud which has been bridged by a footbridge (No 4) in order to keep an existing right of way open. It also includes the end of the watered section of the canal, including the recently opened winding hole, the rebuilt little Tring Bridge, the site of the old stop lock and the Little Tring Pumping Station. Image A short section of the canal which is currently being restored. At the eastern end the old canal trench was used as the town refuse dump in the early 20th century. Image This section includes the Tring Feeder and the site of Bushell's Wharf. The annual Wendover Arm Festival is held in a field adjoining the canal. Image Features here include Tring Wharf at New Mill, the humpbacked bridge at New Mill, and the inflow from Tring sewerage works. At the north-east end it joins the Grand Union Canal at the Tring Summit.

At the end of the currently unnavigable canal. The small building beyond the rushes appears to be one of the original wharf buildings. It is in great need of repair before it falls down.

The arm is fed by a stream which emerges from a culvert over this tiny weir and keeps the disused canal in water. Above on Wharf Road children from the nearby primary school head for the ice cream van.

The well-maintained towpath provides excellent walking conditions leading out of Wendover alongside the disused canal.
