Basingstoke Canal, Canal system in Surrey, England
The Basingstoke Canal extends 32 miles through Surrey, connecting Basingstoke to the River Thames at Weybridge through a network of locks.
The construction of the canal, authorized by the Basingstoke Canal Act of 1778, reached completion in 1794 and facilitated agricultural development in Hampshire.
The waterway system provides multiple recreational opportunities for the local community, including boating, fishing, and walking along its maintained paths.
Visitors can access the canal through numerous entry points across Surrey, with designated parking areas and information signs along the route.
The canal contains two sections designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest due to their plant species and natural habitats.
