Ventiford basin Tramway Excavation

A fantastic opportunity has come along. Phil Newman is supervising the archaeological excavations at Ventiford Basin at Stover Canal from 21 - 27 May if you want to visit, you will have to walk or cycle there as there is no parking nearby. You can cycle or walk from Bovey Tracey down the new cycle route which starts near the Landrover Garage  following the Templar Way signs.

Phil says of the photo. This represents about 18m of track but we have reason to believe the total exposed by the end of the dig this year will be 70m, plus an additional short siding, the junction for which is partly exposed in the foreground of this photo.
