Pretty Lock Gardens

Highlight • Structure

Whenever we drove through one of these "garden locks" that had been beautifully decorated, planted and the grass cut to golf course level, our hearts would melt.
The lock keeper's houses are almost always specially decorated.

Shelter With Roof by the Canal

Highlight • Rest Area

It's a shame the roof is broken.
But it's a great thing - there are a few on the canal.
Hopefully the roof will be repaired.
