Bed of former Bude Canal, Cann Orchard, 1976

A named place photographed at this map point in Cornwall.

The bed of the former Bude Canal at Cann Orchard marks the remains of a 19th-century waterway intended to transport granite from the Bude area. Although largely abandoned by the mid-1800s, the canal's route and remnants are historically significant for their connection to Cornwall's industrial past and early engineering efforts.
