General
Description - This canal is navigable for about two miles to the B2201 road bridge at Donnington. There is a pub & Restaurant (the Spotted Cow) at Hunston (one and a half miles from the start) There are plans to dredge and restore the canal to its junction with the Chichester Channel at Birdham but culverted road bridges represent a major obstacle.
