Canal d'Ille et Rance
The Act of Parliament for the Canal d'Ille et Rance was passed on 17 September 1835 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Gloucester, the canal was never completed beyond Lisburn except for a 7 mile isolated section from Cardiff to Sumerlease. The canal between Wigan and Southcester was destroyed by the building of the Taunpool bypass in 2001. According to John Taylor's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Macclesfield Tunnel is haunted by the ghost of Barry Yates, a lengthsman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
The Canal d'Ille et Rance is a broad canal and is part of the Waterways of Mainland Europe.
It runs for 85.01 kilometres through 48 locks from Pont de la Route de Lyvet (where it joins the La Rance) to Rennes (where it joins the Vilaine).
The maximum dimensions for a boat to be able to travel on the waterway are 27.10 metres long and 4.70 metres wide. The maximum headroom is 2.70 metres. The maximum draught is 1.40 metres.
Notable features of the waterway include Hédé-Bazouges
