What Jack Dalby said in 1985. "Beyond the site of Laycock Wharf, now a garden, and over the road up to Ray Mill Bridge at 926689 (0.8 km) the canal is either infilled or being converted into a pleasure garden by the owner of Bewley Court whose embankment is pierced by a brick culvert. |
The Canal is infilled at the southern end, and covered by a complex of tracks leading to various properties to the north of the road; the line of the towpath hedge is visible some way from the road - goes through the grounds of Bewley Court.
The Canal passes through the grounds of Bewley Court; the picture shows the Canal on the north side of Bewley Court, looking south. |

Looking north from the same spot, the Canal is totally infilled as it approaches Rey Mill Bridge. |
| Rey Mill Bridge itself can be seen by those who have eyes to
see, as a slight hump in the narrow road. This is the site of the scene on the cover of Jack Dalby's book (2nd. Edition) |

From the Reybridge road going south for 650metres/710yds., the towpath is shown as a right of way. A further footpath approaches from the direction of Reybridge and appears to terminate on the Canal at 923683.
The Bell Inn is adjacent to Lacock Wharf Bridge. Excellent selection of real ales, no fizz.
Was under new management last time we visited - about May 2000.
