Coventry Canal: Bedworth Hill Cutting

Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 11 Sep 2012

A vast amount of soil and rock must have been excavated in the 1780s to create this straight cutting through Bedworth Hill. Both banks have been colonized by dense impenetrable thorn scrub making it a most inhospitable place. Centenary Way, celebrating 100 years of Warwickshire County Council, follows the towpath on the right here.
