Basingstoke Canal, Disused Western Arm

The towpath walk along the disused part of the Basingstoke Canal, from the western end of the Greywell tunnel, is a wonderland in Spring. On a sunny day the thick tree canopy can create a relaxing lush green light, which combined with the decaying canal infrastructure is very beautiful, I hope this photo captures it. I believe this bridge is called 'Brick Kiln' bridge, but I am not sure.
