 boat captain on the day based on current conditions.\n\nGoing west from Od
 iham\, you will see a mud barge\, (used in dredging the canal during resto
 ration in the 1970s and 80s)\, several canal bridges and will watch the li
 ft bridge being raised on your way to King John’s Castle\, which was cap

 Garden and bronze horse on the right hand side. There are several typical 
 narrow\, arched bridges before we turn around at the winding hole just bey
 ond Barley Mow wharf.\n\nNatural England has designated this stretch of th
 e canal as a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). It serves as a lo
 cal recreational amenity but is also a notable wildlife habitat.\n\nThe al
 kaline water from the chalk springs at the western end of the canal mixing
  with the acidic water as the canal passes through the Surrey heathlands\,
  has given rise to one of the largest varieties of aquatic plants and inve
 rtebrates in the United Kingdom.\n\nAs many as 25 of Britain’s 39 specie
 s of dragonflies and damselflies inhabit the canal.\n\nLook out for kingfi
 shers\, herons\, swans\, ducks\, geese\, moorhens (often with young) and v
 arious local floras.\n\nClick here to view our Boat Trip FAQs.
