Caen Hill Marina is on the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line).
The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring).
Facilities: diesel for sale, chemical toilet disposal, gas for sale, coal for sale, boatyard pump-out, toilets and laundrette.

There is a small underbridge here which carries Summerham Brook under the canal and then, as seen here, under the embankment of the dismantled railway alongside. by Michael Dibb – 17 January 2023](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/38/94/7389420_d27199c4_120x120.jpg)







![Solar powered pump. A solar panel field (just visible, through the bushes, to the left of the display) is used to operate the back pumping station on the opposite bank of the canal. [[4230660]]. The pump is used to return water used through the Caen Hill locks from below the bottom lock at Foxhangers to somewhere above the flight. The display shows the total energy in kWh generated. by Michael Dibb – 26 October 2014](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/23/06/4230674_176b78ca_120x120.jpg)


![Pumping station and bridge. Alongside Lower Foxhangers Bridge, the new building holds the Caen Hill back pumping station. The pump is used to return water used through the Caen Hill locks from below the bottom lock at Foxhangers to somewhere above the flight. The intakes from the canal are protected by grills. The pump is now powered by solar energy - see [[4230674]]. The bridge carries the towpath, a public footpath, to the south side of the canal. The towpath remains on the south side of the canal until the top of the Caen Hill flight of locks. by Michael Dibb – 26 October 2014](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/23/06/4230660_d642d01d_120x120.jpg)
