Leominster Canal

Leominster Canal

The Leominster canal ran just over 18 miles from Mamble to Leominster through 16 locks and a number of tunnels, some of which suffered engineering problems even before the canal opened. It cost £93,000 to build. Originally the canal was part of a much more ambitious plan to run 46 miles from Stourport to Kington.
