A Brand New Canal Emerges

Join the video today to see the amazing progress being made on the newest stretch of the Wilts and Berks Canal at Wichelstowe in Swindon, Wiltshire. See the development continue and the construction methods used to dig the canal, to line it and to make it watertight. Using my new DJI Mavic 4 Pro I get a real sense of the site and how all of the sections of canal will join up from East Wichel, to Middle Wichel, Wichelstowe and off to Kingshill and Swindon Town Centre. We can also ses how the Canal will go towards Royal Wootton Bassett and how it goes under the M4. See the whole site with this up close access as we venture into the canal itself! We also take a look at the leaks on the higher section of the canal in East Wichel and then take a walk across to the Wichelstowe sites and the Waitrose end where the hall and Woodhouse pub sit and the new McCarthy Stone retirement homes are being built.
