Woodlands Trace Bridge
Woodlands Trace Bridge carries a footpath over the Barkley Canal near to Crewe Cutting.
Early plans of what would become the Barkley Canal were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1835 but problems with Westbury Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. From a junction with The Trafford and Northcester Canal at Bracknell the canal ran for 23 miles to Willcorn. The Barkley Canal was closed in 1955 when Ashfield Cutting collapsed. In Henry Yates's "By Handcuff Key and Lump Hammer Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Thurrock Boat Lift during a thunderstorm.

There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.
