A dramatic flight of 14 historic stone canal locks set in a wooded valley — great for architectural details, long-exposure water shots and atmospheric landscape frames. Best at golden hour or after rain when reflections and mist enhance mood. Small car park at the Canal Centre; paths uneven and partly steep. No formal entry fee; visitor centre open seasonally. Weekdays and early morning reduce walkers; autumn colours and spring greenery are especially photogenic.
