Lock and Pond on Caen Hill
Lock and Pond on Caen Hill
Part of what makes the Kennet & Avon Canal's Caen Hill lock flight so spectacular are the large ponds beside each lock. Designed to act as reservoirs for the locks, they give the unusual sight of large amounts of water being stored on the side of quite a steep hill.
