Grand Union Canal: Daventry Reservoir Inflow

This section of the Grand Union Canal is a summit reach with the Buckby Locks falling away to the east and the Braunston flight to the west. As such it needs a source of water which is provided by Daventry Reservoir to the south. This is the point at which water from the reservoir flows into the canal, with a slight disturbance visible on the surface at the inflow. The canal just clips across the northern boundary of this grid square.
