Here you'll discover a beautiful set of locks, located on the Calder and Hebber Navigation near Thornhill and Thorbury Bridge.
Confusingly, the Figure of Three Locks is actually only two locks. It is thought that the name came from the shape that the River Calder makes as it winds through this particular area.

I find it interesting watching canal boats navigating locks.
