The Bude Canal stretches some 35 miles from Bude to Launceston via Holsworthy, and is a magnificent feat of engineering. The canal was used to carry rich sea sand which was used by the farmers as fertiliser for the poor soil inland. A series of aqueducts, embankments and wheel pits for the inclined planes carried tub-boats to a height of 430 feet above sea level within just six miles, all of these manually constructed using picks and shovels. The canal closed in 1891 with the advent of the railways. Follow the history of the canal at Bude Museum. Nowadays, the first two miles of the canal remain in water and are used by residents and visitors to the area, for fishing, walking and boating.
