Discover Maunsel Lock, a great place to start exploring the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal.
Maunsel Lock was once busy with boats plying their trade to and from Bridgwater Docks. Today, it’s a great place to start exploring the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal. A little bit of history Maunsel Lock, on the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal, is a picture of peace. During the Second World War however, it formed a line of defence known as the Wessex Stop (or Taunton) Line and all the swing bridges were removed. Many have now been reinstated as part of a programme of restoration.

Did you know?... Our lock gates are handbuilt by skilled carpenters in our workshops in the West Midlands and Yorkshire, from FSC Green Oak. Each one is unique and can take up to a month to make. Once built they last for about 25 years. Go to canalriverexplorers.org.uk to discover lots of fun things to do with the family.
