We're the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways across England and Wales, because we believe that life is better by water.
Our research findings are showing that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, really does make us feel happier and healthier.
With ever increasing rates of obesity and stress and declining mental health in the UK, we believe we are uniquely placed to make a significant contribution to improving the wellbeing of millions of people. Many of the waterways we care for run through some of our country’s most deprived and multi-cultural urban communities where access to quality green space is scarce.
That’s why, at Canal & River Trust, we're working with volunteers and communities across England and Wales to transform their canals and rivers into spaces where local people want to spend time and feel better. We know this will bring wellbeing opportunities to millions.

James Stevens - Camera Diary
Join camera operator, James Stevens on a journey through the serene waters of Pocklington Canal in East Yorkshire.
Once bustling with boats in the 1800s, this historic canal has transformed into a thriving refuge for wildlife. Today, it's a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) thanks to our restoration efforts and other dedicated groups.
Our canals and rivers have become crucial habitats for diverse wildlife in the UK. From herons and otters to dragonflies and water voles, our waterways are thriving ecosystems, thanks to constant care and environmental efforts. Our expert teams tackle challenges like pollution, invasive species, and climate change, ensuring canals remain natural corridors for wildlife. Learn about our innovative projects, sustainable practices, and canals' essential role in preserving biodiversity and combating the UK's nature crisis.
