Netham lock.

This lock is at the entrance to the Bristol Harbour feeder canal, off the river Avon. It is one of the few locks left with a keeper, as it is necessary to purchase a permit to enter the harbour.

Head for Heights

This two-stage footbridge across the M32 at Baptist Mills, Bristol, is quite narrow and open to the elements. Not a crossing for those suffering from vertigo. The red brick building behind it is St. Werburgh's Community Hall.
