Dist:0.4km<br/>On a sunny Saturday afternoon at the end of the summer holiday season there is still regular traffic of boats along the canal - although the rate at which boats pass here is throttled by the Caen Hill Flight of locks which starts a one and a half kilometres to the east. At the end of the straight stretch of canal and just visible in the image are the moorings at Lower Foxhanger's.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Seen from the west. The bridge carries a minor metalled lane between the villages of Seend and Sells Green, but there is an alternative route, only slightly longer, using the A361 and the A365.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Milestone beside the A365. Milestones are the original roadside heritage features with many dating back hundreds of years and these historic items are under threat from highway developments.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Milestone beside the A365. For a wider view [[1870624]] Milestones did not come into general use until the Turnpike Act of 1766 made them compulsory on turnpike roads, these roads were built by private enterprise under licence from the Government and maintained by tolls on those who used them. Before this Act milestones were put up occasionally, often as charitable acts and commemorations. Many Turnpike Act stones still exist. They are usually 2-3 ft high, with the initial letter or abbreviation of the nearest market town show on two faces, and the distance from it.
