One of the many drains in the Somerset Levels, King's Sedgemoor Drain was originally built in the 18th century. The Levels are a major region of seasonal flooding and the channels were constructed to aid the draining of the area, protecting the low-lying villages and farmland.

As you pass this drain at Parchey Bridge, it's easy to see the perfectly straight course of the river.
