Kingswood Junction

Kingswood Junction

Kingswood Junction (gbmapping|SP185709) is a series of canal junctions where the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal meets the Grand Union Canal at Kingswood, Warwickshire, England.

The junction consists of a 250 metre linking arm with two branches at the (western) Stratford Canal end and a simple junction with the Grand Union at the eastern end. One of the branches descends through a lock to the connecting arm. The other branch is taken from the Stratford canal below another lock.

The Stratford Canal (the Northern Stratford Canal) heads, via a flight of locks, towards the Worcester and Birmingham Canal at Kings Norton Junction. South of Kingswood Junction the Southern Stratford Canal descends through locks to the River Avon at Stratford-upon-Avon. The Grand Union leads north to Knowle Locks, and then Birmingham, and leads south to Hatton Locks and Warwick.
