The Wendover Arm Canal is part of the Grand Union Canal in England, and forms part of the British canal system. It originally linked the Grand Union Canal at Bulbourne near Star Top End in Hertfordshire to the town of Wendover in Buckinghamshire. The canal is miles long, but has not been navigable since 1897. It is currently being reconstructed by the Wendover Arm Trust, and Phase 1 of the project, the first from the junction at Bulbourne, was completed and reopened in 2005. ==History==
The Grand Union Canal uses the valleys of the rivers Bulbourne and Gade to pass through Hertfordshire so the canal could easily cross the Chiltern Hills without the need for costly tunnelling works. On its journey through the Chilterns it reaches a height of at Tring summit〔Wendover Arm Trust – information board〕 before it descends into the Vale of Aylesbury.
