The canal ran four miles from Campsie's Lock to the centre of Strabane where it ended here in the canal basin. For most of its length it has now gone back to nature, but it is a nice walk/ cycle along the adjacent road. The basin has been filled in and is now used as a car park and public events space. Most of the warehouses that once used to surround it have also been demolished. Some industrial buildings do survive, however, and the 1990’s landscaping, shown here, was clearly intended to complement these and recall the former function of the space.
