Hiking
A view from the Leeds-Liverpool Canal of one of several famous or infamous fences on the Grand National Course. The preceding fence just in view in the distance is the Foinavon Fence, a fence with a great story behind it.
"The Canal Turn is a fence on Aintree Racecourse's National Course and thus is jumped during the Grand National steeplechase which is held annually at the racecourse. Named for the Leeds & Liverpool Canal which passes alongside the racecourse at this point, it is jumped twice during the race, as the 8th and 24th fences."
