Louth Navigation Trust
The Louth Navigation Trust have since restored the tow path which may be walked and parts of the canal are in shallow water. They are currently engaged in an ambitious scheme to restore the full length of the canal by 2020. The Louth Navigation, unlike many other disused canals is in water throughout its length and has not been in-filled or built over as it is important for drainage of the surrounding land. Several formerly movable bridges have since been replaced with fixed bridges. The 8 locks are in varying states of repair, two have been completely obliterated, Alvingham lock (pictured) is the best surviving example.
