Warwick canal [7]
Seen from the bridge carrying Coventry Road, A429, over the Grand Union Canal is this view of the canal looking west.
A market town and county town of Warwickshire, Warwick lies on the River Avon, 11 miles (18 kilometres) south of Coventry. There is evidence of unbroken habitation from the 6th century AD with signs of Neolithic and Roman activity before that date. It was a Saxon burh in the 9th century and Warwick Castle was built during the Norman Conquest. Much of the town was destroyed in The Great Fire of Warwick in 1694. Warwick Racecourse is located just west of the town centre. The Grand Union Canal passes through the town and the restored Saltisford Canal Arm is close to the town centre.

Ramp to the canal towpath from the Coventry Road bridge, Warwick
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.

Raising the parapet of Bridge 49, Grand Union Canal, Warwick
It's believed that the parapet was raised because boaters and boats were at risk from objects being dropped from the Coventry Road bridge.
