Holcombe Bridge No 181 
Holcombe Bridge No 181 carries a farm track over the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) near to Tiverworth.
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 ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed.
There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.
