CAEN HILL LOCKS DEVIZES WILTSHIRE
The Caen Hill Locks, part of a 29 lock system at Devizes, are all squeezed into about two miles of waterway. The photos here were taken in the village of Rowde Devizes Wiltshire.More photos coming soon with the canal boats slowly travelling along this lovely canal of Caen Hill Locks in Devizes Wiltshire
As you can see from these photos, Caen Hill Locks are very impressive series of locks and are to be found on the Kennet and Avon Canal near Devizes,
another lovely town in weird Wiltshire.
Each lock is almost on top of the next one and there's plenty of large water roundabouts where the canal boats can move over to let another boat through.
These locks were built alongside a tram road which connected the canal at Devizes.

These locks were built alongside a tram road which connected the canal at Devizes.
The tram road was built in the early 1800's and apparently, if you look very carefully, you can still see parts of this old tram road along the towpath of the locks.
Caen Hill locks are the middle section of the Devizes flight of locks and were lit by gas light in the early 1800's.
