The River Lud reasserts its identity: the defining moment

The Louth Navigation takes its water from the River Lud, and the two combine for the first few hundred metres of the canal's course. This sluice is the point where a scaled-down version of the River Lud escapes to wind its way alongside the canal. The rushing, burbling sounds contrast with the smooth, silent progress of the water in the disused canal, and draw attention to the river's triumphant escape.
