Basingstoke Canal


The Basingstoke Canal flows through the counties of Hampshire and Surrey. The canal is 32 miles long and has 29 locks; construction started in 1787 and was completed some seven years later.

The canal flows from the Wey Navigation in Surrey to Greywell in Hampshire; It burst its banks in two places during 1968, after a period of heavy rain, the towns of Farnborough, and Aldershot being affected.

A restoration programme was decided on which took nineteen years to complete and was re-opened in 1991, by HRH the Duke of Kent.

In 1978, the John Pinkerton canal boat had its opening cruise under the patronage of Lord Montague of Beaulieu. The 67ft long John Pinkerton is licensed to carry 50 passengers and is run solely by volunteers from the canal society.
