An aqueduct built as part of the Dorset & Somerset Canal, which was begun in 1797 but never completed. ‘Aqueduct’ was a rather new-fangled word for the Somerset colliers of the time and got corrupted to ‘Hucky Duck’. A public footpath is indicated this way,but turns right just under the bridge and before the gates. ahead runs onto private property at this point
