Canal & River Trust works to the Upper Bittell Reservoir

It’s only the second time in its history that the Upper Bittell Reservoir has been drained. This is so the bottom sluice and channel can be repaired. To be able to make the necessary repairs, an access track for HGVs has been created across the top of our fields. The works should be completed by May, 2018 and whilst the area will become a ‘site’ and closed to the public from Monday, 27th November we will have full access for the Barnt Green Wassail at our orchards on Wednesday, December 27th, 2017.
