Welcome to Bowbridge

Bowbridge is a small village located in the county of Gloucestershire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Frome and is known for its picturesque scenery and historic landmarks. The village is home to a number of traditional pubs and restaurants, as well as a range of independent shops and businesses.

One of the most notable landmarks in Bowbridge is the Bowbridge Lock, which is part of the Stroudwater Navigation. This historic canal was built in the 18th century to transport goods between Stroud and the River Severn. Today, the canal is a popular destination for boaters and walkers, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Another popular attraction in Bowbridge is the Cotswold Canals Trust Visitor Centre. This museum tells the story of the Stroudwater Navigation and the Thames and Severn Canal, which were both important trade routes in the 18th and 19th centuries. Visitors can learn about the history of the canals, as well as the wildlife and ecology of the surrounding area. The centre also hosts a range of events and activities throughout the year, including guided walks, talks, and workshops.
