Titchfield Canal

Titchfield Canal

The Titchfield Canal is a canal in Hampshire, England, UK, and Britain's second-oldest man-made waterway. It was built following the decision by the Third Earl of Southampton to build a dike across the entrance to the River Meon, cutting it off from the Solent. The canal enabled boat traffic to continue to reach Titchfield, then a busy port.

Today the canal is no longer used for boat traffic, but is still in water and is an important nature reserve.
