Large parts overgrown in spring / summer not passable! Route across the main road by the stag is dangerous. Suggest turn right after bilsley hotel the left and rejoin at the long house on the left

February 3, 2024, Edstone Aqueduct

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.

The park boasts a picturesque pool, sourced from a millrace ingeniously diverted from the River Cole. It offers a serene environment characterized by a harmonious blend of woodlands and open areas.
