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.
