Please be advised that navigation is closed between Camp Hill Top Lock and Knowle Top Lock. We have now removed the barriers at Bridge 65 (Old Warwick Road). Boats were becoming stuck over the weekend, so we made the decision to close this section for safety. With the ongoing closure at Camp Hill Locks (due to a damaged gate), we're hoping this will allow water levels in the affected area to recover. We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding while we work to restore safe navigation. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.

Please be aware that we have had to close this section of canal due to very low water levels. Please refrain from navigating this section as we have reports of boats becoming grounded on underwater obstructions. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and will update you when we can get the levels back up to a safe level.
