Near the top of the Caen Hill Flight of locks
When the architect and engineer John Rennie recommended routing the Kennet & Avon Canal through Devizes on the way to Bath he had to overcome a major obstacle at Devizes where the high ground of the Vale of Pewsey drops 237 feet towards the Avon Valley within two and a half miles. The Caen Hill Flight was the result which forms part of the Devizes Flight of 29 locks and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Waterways – see https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/canal-history/history-features-and-articles/the-seven-wonders-of-the-waterways?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-sGZ1LrL4AIVjZXtCh2LTAsBEAAYASAAEgIv6PD_BwE
Caen Hill Flight was the last stretch of the Kennet & Avon Canal to be completed in 1810 and after almost being abandoned after 1955 has now been fully restored.
This is towards the top of the Caen Hill Flight. The white house in the far distance is where the canal bends to pass under Marsh Lane.
