Benchmark on Higher Lock A blank benchmark has been set into the downstream lock, looking suspiciously like an old National Rivers Authority or Environment Agency version. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7541496">ST3029 : Higher Lock</a> for a location view.

The sun, in the sunshine The Somerset Space Walk was a creation that replicated the Solar System to scale and set along the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. Naturally, the central focus is the Sun; it has been installed here at Higher Maunsel Lock. The model of the Sun is a 14-ton concrete sphere and some 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) wide. With a slice removed, details of the interior and a few plaques are revealed. Opened in 1997, the object was once bright yellow but the march of time and the effect of sunlight has faded the colours. Quite ironic.

Mars by Maunsel Lock Maunsel Lock is where to find the northern version of Mars on the Somerset Space Walk. Travelling the canal path southwards will bring several such planetary markers in short succession; go north and the gaps between them will seem enormous. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7544810">ST3030 : Jupiter, just north of Coxhill Bridge</a> for a location view.
