Caen Hill Locks, Kennet and Avon Canal, Devizes, Wiltshire, England, UK, GB.


The Kennet & Avon Canal has awesome examples of canal engineering. The 16 locks that form the steepest part of the flight at Caen Hill are not only a scheduled ancient monument, they are an Olympic sized challenge every boater must do. This 'wonder of the waterway' is literally a rite of passage (Or should that be a flight of passage?).
