Caen Hill

The classic shot of the 29 locks at Caen Hill in Devizes on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Taken right at the bottom of the rise, from the road bridge to get the height; you can usually park there, there is a small layby, unfortunately when I got there it was full so I had to go up to the car park near as dammit at the top and then walk down to take the photograph to then have to walk back up. If nothing else it cleared the cobwebs and got my 10,000 steps on the Fitbit

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.
Oh my. Quite a hike and a terrific photo of the locks.

I've walked up that flight, in the rain. We moored our boat at the bottom, and decided we were at the end of the road and turned around!! Moody sky youvd caught there

I once worked on the pound next to the first lock in the flight helping in its restoration when the locks were derelict.

@johnsutton They wouldn’t be there without you, and the hundreds of other volunteers who worked on the K&A mate. You have my appreciation.

@phil_sandford you were on a boat??

@30pics4jackiesdiamond God no 😜. I walked up it. In the rain. I don’t do boats unless they’ve sunk and I can dive on them.
