The horse pasage is under the canal at this point, and easily missed if cruising along. The pub (and stables) is up on the left of the picture (in the gap next to the new flats in the picture) is accessed by leaving the tow path via the slope (next to the BW sign on the right of the picture) that leads down to the path going under the canal via a horse passage. | |||||||||

I was chatting to an old man at the Barley Mow pub last weekend. He remembers the village back to the 1940s. And he told me the horseshoe-shaped tunnel was never for the canal boat horses. It was actually, he said, just for the local horses. Or possibly not for the horses at all. After all, he points out, it's the original high street of the village, before the canal came. Indeed, it's still called 'Main St', and possibly the smallest high street in the UK.
