Also known as Cosgrove aqueduct, the Iron Trunk Aqueduct was built in 1811 to carry the Grand Union Canal over the River Great Ouse. Two cast iron trough spans cross the river, held aloft by a single central masonry pier.

There is a wealth of excellent walking in the surrounding Ouse Valley Park, including two excellent nature reserves. A popular itinerary is to link the Iron Trunk with the village of Cosgrove, with a visit to the Barley Mow pub.
