I've heard several tales from various sources that serious thought is being given in places where people think seriously to opening up the Somerset Levels for navigation. The area was said to have around 270 miles of potentially navigable waterway, larger than the Broads, and a great tourist opportunity.
Can't find anything on the wibbly about it - has anyone heard anything? I've oft thought when driving down the M5 that some of the waterways crossed look as if they'd be nice to boat on. (I'm not sure which Somerset Levels were being thought of - there seems to be the North Levels around Weston, and the main levels further down around the Parrott and Bridgwater).
