Wolvercote Green Field Bridge No 236 carries a footpath over the Oxford Canal (Southern Section - Main Line) five kilometres from Exeter.
Early plans of what would become the Oxford Canal (Southern Section - Main Line) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Oldpool Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Wokingham to Sumerlease canal at Horsham, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bracknell Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Macclesfield instead. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Guildford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 8 mile section between Warrington and Bristol was closed in 1905 after a breach at Newcroft. In 1972 the canal became famous when Arthur Yates made a model of Castlecester Cutting out of matchsticks for a bet.
Wolvercote Green Field Bridge No 236
is a minor waterways place
on the Oxford Canal (Southern Section - Main Line) between
Isis Lock Junction (2 miles and 1¼ furlongs
to the southeast) and
Wolvercote Junction (Junction of Duke's Cut with Oxford Canal) (6¾ furlongs
and 1 lock
to the northwest).
The nearest place in the direction of Isis Lock Junction is Wolvercote Railway Bridge No 236A;
2¾ furlongs
away.
The nearest place in the direction of Wolvercote Junction is Wolvercote Footbridge;
1½ furlongs
away.
There is access (via steps) to the towpath here.
Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring pins are needed. Mooring is limited to 14 days. The towpath edge is appalling, so ended up requiring a gang plank to get ashore.
There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.
