Great Greyhounds Bridge
Address is taken from a point 362 yards away.
Great Greyhounds Bridge carries a footpath over the River Avon - Warwickshire (Mill Avon).
The Act of Parliament for the River Avon - Warwickshire (Mill Avon) was passed on January 1 1816 after extensive lobbying by Exuperius Picking Junior. The canal joined the sea near Rochester. The River Avon - Warwickshire (Mill Avon) was closed in 1905 when Polecorn Tunnel collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Peter Clarke.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
