The Somerset Waterways Development
Trust was founded in April 2005.
In Somerset there are a wealth of waterways and canals
ready to be rediscovered as an important local asset.
The Trust is not just a group of frustrated navvies and
boaters but people with their eyes and hearts set on conserving,
protecting and improving the special qualities within
Somerset, a wealth of rivers, watercourses and canals.
The main objectives of the Trust
are:
- Promoting Somerset Waterways
- Educating people about Somerset
Waterways
- Interpreting the history and
landscape of Somerset Waterways
- Protecting and conserving
the environment, landscape, heritage and recreational
resource of Somerset Waterways
- Improving and enhancing in
a sustainable manner Somerset Waterways
The waterways of Somerset are
not just about boats and boating. They are about the
environment, the landscape, our historic inheritance
as well as a place to relax and slow down. Whether you
are a boater, walker, an angler, a local resident, or
a tourist the offer that Somerset provides in respect
of waterway activities are great. However they are underdeveloped,
often hidden and consequently not being used or appreciated
as well as they could. The Somerset Waterways Development
Trust has been formed to change this!
Join the Trust today!
Whether you are a boater, a walker, an angler, a local
resident, a visitor, a concerned citizen or a waterway
enthusiast, Somerset waterways have much to offer. So
