Stover Canal Trust

Description

The Stover Canal Society was formed in 1999 to promote the preservation   and restoration of the Stover Canal in South Devon, England. Built in the 18th   Century, the canal was used for nearly 150 years to transport clay and other materials from the Bovey Basin, and granite from quarries on Dartmoor, to the docks at Teignmouth.

 

The society has now merged with the Stover Canal Trust which works with   local councils and other interested parties to preserve the line of the canal   and to restore it as an amenity for the local community. Some lengths of the    canal towpath form part of the Templer Way, and historic trail which links the   canal, the tramway and other legacies of the Templer family.
