Old Crane at Ventiford Basin

Highlight • Monument

Ventiford Basin is the Northern terminus of the canal. Clay from the local area was brought here overland, loaded onto barges and sailed down the canal to the Jetty Marsh sea lock. Depending on the state of the tide, barges would then travel along the Whitelake Channel, past Town Quay in Newton Abbot and down the River Teign to be trans-shipped to larger vessels at the docks in Teignmouth. See: stovercanal.co.uk

Stover Canal

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Originally built to transport clay and granite, the Stover Canal is an important part of the local history. While the canal is no longer used and empty of water, sections of it are used as recreation trails and it's being carefully restored and cared for by a local community group. The aim is to refill sections and return it, in part, to its glory days.
