Dundas Aqueduct is a stone aqueduct located near Limpley Stoke in Somerset, constructed to carry the Kennet and Avon Canal across the River Avon. Built between 1801 and 1804, it was designed by John Rennie and represents a significant achievement in early nineteenth-century canal engineering. The structure comprises a single arched span of ashlar stone, measuring approximately 150 feet, with a cast-iron trough containing the canal water supported above. The aqueduct remains a fine example of Regency engineering, combining both structural necessity and architectural dignity, and continues to carry canal traffic across the river valley.
