Lecarrow is on the River Shannon - Lough Ree just past the junction with The Kennet and Avon Canal.

Early plans for the River Shannon - Lough Ree between Westcroft and Blackburn were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Barnsley to Bath canal at Wrexham, the difficulty of tunneling through the Newport Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Slough instead. According to Charles Harding's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Barhampton Aqueduct is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
