Tips

Thousands of motorists drive underneath this aqueduct on the A331 without having any idea at all that a canal is suspended above their heads.

The canal was opened in 1995 and the waterway long pre-dates the A road beneath it. The original plan was to drop the canal down using locks, but the decision was eventually made to keep the canal level and build the road underneath, requiring the construction of the aqueduct.

To enjoy this fantastic piece of engineering, walk or ride alongside the canal on the towpath as it passes on its merry way, uninterrupted by the road underneath.

My mind was blown just taking in the fact that this is a bridge that carries a body of water over a main road that I have travelled on countless times unaware that there's actually a Canal above my vehicle.

Just done your route and lived in this area for 26 years. Go down the A331 every day to work and had no idea to! Mind literally blown! Really nice looking down at the black water river as well!
