The Thames & Severn Canal starts at a junction with the Stroudwater Canal (1) to the west of Wallbridge Basin, and it is raised up the side of the valley by Wallbridge Lower and Upper Locks (2 & 5).
On the way the canal goes under Wallbridge Bridge (4) and it passes a building of the former Stroud Brewery of which the lower floor has been preserved alongside the canal (3).
The settlement of Wallbridge takes its name from the original bridge over the River Frome (6) that was used by walkers (an early term for fullers) working at the nearby mill.
