Under the canal

Image: © Bob Walters Taken: 18 Jun 2022

At Weedon Bec, the A5 trunk road, the Grand Union Canal and the West Coast Main Line all run parallel to each other within a few hundred metres. Also unusual is that the canal is on an embankment and the local road tunnels beneath it immediately before it goes under the railway line. This view is from beneath the canal looking west towards the railway bridge. The A5 is a few metres behind the camera.
