Caen Hill Locks are on the Kennet and Avon Canal just west of Devizes in Wiltshire. There are 29 locks altogether at Caen Hill, spread over about 2 miles. However, the middle 16 locks are the most impressive, being in a straight line up the steep hillside. There is just a short pound between locks, but each pound extends sideways to store an adequate volume of water.
See Google Aerial View of this location.
