The Canal That Never Was – Holcombe Section – Walking Festival 2025

The route follows the line of “the canal that never was”, passing coal workings that would have benefitted from the canal. Last year we walked from Coleford to Ham. This 2.5 mile walk is along the canal route westwards from Ham. Once a hub of industrial activity, it is now delightful countryside to walk through. To complete the route, you need to be happy walking along a challenging footpath that has some steep, narrow sections over very rough, sometimes muddy ground.

Walk starts from lay-by opposite St Cuthbert’s Church, Common Lane, Holcombe, BA3 5DS.
