Upon arrival, impressive images can be captured from the road, beginning with the lock gates—where slow shutter speeds offer compelling shots of water flowing through the canal joints. From the roadside parking area, proceed through the metal gate beside the lock gates for an unobstructed eastern view of the canal as it bends out of sight. Across the canal, a picturesque lock keepers cabin framed by two barges enhances the visual appeal.
Continuing along the canal, houseboats moored on the opposite bank present excellent opportunities for capturing images of boats winding with the canal’s curve. Further along the towpath, a bridge provides an elevated perspective looking back toward the road, where elements of the bridge can serve as striking foreground features in photographs.
