Viewed from the Lancaster to Wennington trackbed, John Rennie's Lune Aqueduct carries the Lancaster Canal across the River Lune on five arches, each spanning 70' and at least 50' above the river. This significant engineering achievement cost £48,000 in 1797, almost three times its original estimate, and is still open for canal traffic having outlived the railway by over 50 years already.
