The scene above depicts an example of Blake's "English green and pleasant land" that seems to belie the fact that this was not constructed as a tourist feature but as a utilitarian waterway connection when there was virtually no other means of transportation from one side of England to the other. And as if to complete the Tolkienesque vibes the hamlet is named Little Bedwyn.

From the left (and in historical order) we have the trail (towpath) beside the canal itself (and it has its own lock etc), then the railway that replaced the need for the canal and then the motor vehicle road that partly replaced the railway, but thankfully it is all still preserved. And, you guessed it, the road takes you to the next hamlet called Great Bedwyn though it is still rather small and "iconic" and of course has its own lock.

But to briefly explain the original concept and task of design and construction we can fast forward to satellite technology with Google Earth and the Elevation Map below.
