The Kennet and Avon Canal, completed in 1810, crosses the parish just north of the village. Burbage Wharf was further west, where the canal passes under the present-day A346. The Great Western Railway’s Berks and Hants Extension Railway from Hungerford to Devizes was built close to the canal in the 1860s. The GWR built Savernake Low Level north of Burbage, above the canal tunnel; British Railways closed it in 1966.
