Dundas Aqueduct


The mighty Dundas Aqueduct that carries the Kennet and Avon Canal across the River Avon near Limply Stoke, south-east of Bath. A Grade One listed building, it was the first canal structure to be scheduled as an Ancient Monument.

On the western side of the aqueduct is the junction with the Somersetshire Coal Canal. This ran some 18 miles to Paulton, with a branch to Radstock and Midsomer Norton. Only a 200 metre stretch of the canal is now open from the junction at Dundas and is used as moorings.

Marple Aqueduct


The 97 feet high Marple Aqueduct carries the Peak Forest Canal across the valley of the River Goyt near the bottom of the Marple lock flight. To the right is the railway viaduct, echoing the scene at Chirk Aqueduct.
