As you hike alongside the Basingstoke Canal, it's easy to not realise that you're actually walking over an aqueduct. The canal is suspended above the mainline railway to London here so if you suddenly hear a train rumbling, that's why. Despite this, the canal remains leafy green and in summer especially, it's almost impossible to notice the presence of the railway.

Built in 1840, the aqueduct later had gates built at either side so that should a bomb fall on it during the Second World War, the gates would stop the canal from flooding the railway beneath.

You may not notice at first that this is actually an aqua duct over a south coast to London mainline railway.

This Aqueduct is so well hidden that I actually didn't even realise I had passed until reviewing my walk so make sure you investigate fully.
