When it opened in 1800 as the Warwick and Napton Canal it passed through fields and parkland. The spiked parapet in the foreground, now breached, sent a brutal "Keep Out" message. Now as the Grand Union, the canal forms the southern boundary of the Woodloes Park estate, right. The ramp is one of several through Warwick and Leamington giving access to the towpath, which is well-used.
