Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Flowing freely After recent dredging the water can now once again flow freely. This view was taken from the recently opened Canalside Walk; the bridge carries Dilham Road over the disused North Walsham & Dilham canal.

The first stage of the Canal Walk > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1053555 was opened by Norman Lamb, MP for North Norfolk, on Sunday 28th September 2008. A section of the canal at the entrance to Honing Staithe > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1053570 was cleared and a new walk was created - it turns off the Weavers Way and rejoins it by the staithe, above Dee/Horning Bridge > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1053529 - by work parties of the East Anglian Waterways Association and the North Walsham and Dilham Canal Trust. The Trust was formed in January 2008 with the aim to conserve and improve the route of the canal and its branches for the benefit of the community and environment and to promote access to the navigation for all. With the support of the Canal Company and the owners of the woodland around the cut, scrub and dangerous trees on either side of the basin, and alongside the canal were cleared; the canal basin was dredged and water reintroduced, and a footbridge was constructed over the soke dyke > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1053612. Over the coming months work parties will continue to expand the cleared area around the basin and tackle the muddier parts of the walk. http://eawa.co.uk/walsham.html

The North Walsham and Dilham Canal runs parallel to the River Ant from above Wayford Bridge > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/798701 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/798747 to Antingham > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/716931 - north of North Walsham > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/617099. The canal was built to carry grain and flour to and from the mills by wherry. The now disused Honing lock > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1050960 is the first lock on the canal; a crump-type weir is utilising the fall of the navigation lock.
