Bude Canal was built in 1823 to allow the transportation of mineral rich sand from Bude and the surrounding area inland to fertilize agricultural land.
This revolutionised farming in the area and also allowed slate and granite to be transported to the sea.
The canal was abandoned in 1891 and restoration is in progress.
