Although the route suggested by Komoot was good there were some problems in the wooded section between the two railway crossings. The path was closed and therefore needed to find a detour.

The longest canal aqueduct in England is said to be 145m long and was built between 1793 and 1812. The iron canal is navigated by narrow, purpose-built ships and the locks are operated by hand. There is a small parking lot below the viaduct. From there you can take a staircase directly to the canal.

A lovely place for a walk

Closed up nothing really to see apart from the building

Quite an unusual, but impressive piece of engineering.

Try the rum and raisin

The engine house is Grade II listed and was built to contain the original beam engine that pumped water from the reservoirs up to the higher level of the feeder river. It has been in continual operation since 1823, though in 1936 the beam engine was dismantled and replaced by the electric pumps. You can see the in-fill brickwork where the chimney was removed, marking the arrival of electricity. The building is typical of an engine house; one tall narrow room for the beam engine and lower storey ancillary rooms surrounding it. For this particular engine house the lower storey extension was added post 1846, when the canal was taken over by the Great Western Railway Company due to the decline of canal usage. This is telling in other details such as the workshop bench made out of railway sleepers and the reclaimed platform edging bricks on the stairs. The wooden beams for the upper floors are visible in between the brickwork and you can also see the structural ties that were added after construction, as the building needed more support to cope with the vibration of the machine.

The Earlswood Lakes were constructed in the 1820S to provide water to the Stratford upon Avon canal. Construction took nearly 5 years to complete, and the labour force included prisoners of war from the Napoleonic wars.The cost of construction was £297,000. There are three lakes. The Engine Pool lake cover 25 acres (10 ha). The lakes are fed by tributaries of the River Blythe, and in turn outfall into that river also.

England's Longest Aqueduct. Car Park and Steps leading up to the Aqueduct.

From Wootton Wawen we would recommend walking back along the towpath. There was no footpath along the A3400 which took approximately 50 mins.

Studley began as a Saxon village around the River Arrow. There is a priest at Studley mentioned in the Doomsday Book.  This means that there was probably a wooden Saxon church on the site of the present Norman stone church, which was founded around 1105. A late Anglo-Saxon axe head was found in the churchyard in the 1950s. From the Middle Ages the village of Studley gradually migrated to its present site around the Icknield Way, now the A435.  There is no documentary evidence for why the population shifted.  Theories include the Plague or flooding from the River Arrow. In the 19th Century there was still an inn opposite the church, and a number of scattered cottages, all known as Church End.  Now only the church and the manor (on the site of the Norman castle, seat of the Corbucion family) remain.  This has given the church an exceptionally tranquil setting. The church was restored in 1888 and again in 1935, when the 12th century window in the north wall was discovered. The current Restoration began in 1990.  So far the tower and all roofs have been renewed.  The church has been completely rewired and redecorated.  During the 1997 redecoration the wall paintings were surveyed.  Considerable traces were found of medieval paintings, but were too fragile to leave exposed.  The windows remain to be restored.  The church is listed as Grade 2*.  The building is an unusual mixture of styles, with many architectural puzzles. for walkers there is an opportunity for tea/coffee/cake here while you take in the sights.

IT ALL STARTED IN 1934 The history of Tudor Dairies dates back to the early 1930’s when two brothers Harry & Arthur Fathers, purchased the Henley milk round and small grocers shop from Mrs Hewins, who had been trading under the Tudor Dairies name since 1893. They continued to deliver milk in Henley using left over milk to make cream, which was sold in the shop, with butter being sold in the market behind the Nags Head. In 1934 the brothers began experimenting with ice cream with the “know how” given to them by their mother who used to make ice cream for her shop in Rubery. Originally made by hand the ice cream was sold under the Henley Ice Cream brand. Word soon spread of this delicious ice cream made only with the very best ingredients, culminating in 1937 when Henley Ice Cream won the premier award, being voted the best ice cream in the U.K. The shop became ever more popular as the reputation of the ice cream grew and the shop was transformed into a Ice Cream Parlour. By 1938, the number of customers visiting the parlour brought the traffic in Henley to a standstill, requiring the introduction of a uniformed employee to direct traffic in the High Street. ICE CREAM PRODUCTION CEASED DURING THE WAR YEARS DUE TO LACK OF INGREDIENTS, AND THE PARLOUR WAS USED AS AN AIR RAID POST. After the war ice cream production continued on Wednesdays and Saturdays only, due to the shortage of Cornish cream, so goats milk was used. When Arthur & Harry Fathers retired in 1959, the business was sold to Ross Foods, who changed the emphasis of the Company from a small family run business producing a high quality ice cream, to one of a large concern manufacturing bulk products for the Supermarket chains. In February 1991 the Company changed hands when Ross Foods sold Tudor Dairies to a group of businessmen, but was placed into receivership in March 1997. It was at this time that it was taken back into private ownership by Cindy and Steve Brittan, who have the ice cream made on midlands farms to traditional recipes using only quality ingredients.
