Really great restoration and lovely towpath. It can get busy, so caution needed.

This bridge is located along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and connects the Purton area to the wider canal system. It is a swing bridge with a control room operated by a keeper to manage its movements. The Purton site also features a historic boat graveyard, where old ship hulls were used to reinforce the canal embankment,

Worth a stop to see these abandoned vessels and to get fantastic views of the Severn Estuary.
