Dundas Aqueduct is a masonry structure carrying the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon near Limpley Stoke in Somerset. Built between 1796 and 1799 to the designs of John Rennie, it represents a significant example of late eighteenth-century canal engineering. The aqueduct comprises a single elliptical arch of approximately 150 feet span, constructed in Bath stone, which carries the canal trough across the river below. It remains an important monument to the canal age and demonstrates the sophisticated engineering techniques employed during the Industrial Revolution to overcome topographical obstacles.
