Bratch Locks were designed by esteemed canal engineer James Brindley and opened in 1772. The two bridges, toll house, and lock keeper’s cottage are very pretty and the spot is a great place for painters and photographers. There is also lots of wildlife — including otters, kingfishers, and dragonflies — and nature trails to explore.
