Bude Canal

So we stayed at The Falcon Hotel in Bude for the weekend. I had no idea that Bude had a canal, but there you go, we live and learn. Apparently it was famous with a tricky technical design. Read all about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bude_Canal. This morning the weather was "mizzling" but before a long car journey we took a short walk along the canal (just outside the front door of the hotel) down to the sea. This is the lock which stops the canal draining into the sea.
