The River Frome is just to the left of the path. The canal is infilled from here for a distance of about 700m. The canal then continues on the other side of the river, and used to cross via Lockham Aqueduct. The second photo shows the view from near the site of Lockham Aqueduct looking back towards Whitminster Lock & Saul. (Map Ref. SO 7649 0832). Stroudwater Navigation would have run to the left of the River Frome (right)
