Royal Military Canal
The Royal Military Canal was built around the early 1800's for defense in response to a possible invasion by Napoleon.
Defensive towers were positioned along the canal. The 28 mile long canal runs from Seabrook in Kent along to
East Sussex.
The Military Canal holds usual array of freshwater fish found in rivers around the UK with some large carp and pike,
perch, eels and tench.
This scenic water supports a variety of wildlife that includes mute swan, kingfisher, heron, the endangerourd water
vole, mink, glow worms and frogs. The river also has large patches of lily pads that looks stunning when in bloom with
a blanket of yellow covering the river.
