Stairway to Devizes and the incredible Caen Hill Locks; a scheduled ancient monument

Описание: This week we are taking you with us as we visit our local waterway (Kennet & Avon canal) (as well as showing you a few others including Liverpool & Manchester shipping canal and Llangollen Canal), using Miley the motorhome. We visited the Chirk Aqueduct, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the Llangollen Canal World Heritage site.

The Kennet and Avon canal system scales a mammoth hill between Rowde and Devizes at the Caen Hill flight. Cared for and maintained by the Canal and River Trust, these waterways are a marvel to behold, especially the flight, which has to be seen to be fully appreciated. On this visit we parked at the Caen Hill car park.

Out of interest, we have used the following digital equipment in this video:
DJI Mini 4 pro for the drone footage;
DJI Osmo Action 6 for much of the video footage;
Canon EOS for much of the still photography;
DJI Mini Mic 2 for the voice recording (but the Osmo is so good at voice recording that it turned out not to always be necessary to use the mics on site!).
DJI is such a reliable brand - we would highly recommend.
