Winding hole at Whittington in Staffordshire
This wide section of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal is north of Whittington Horse Bridge. Places where a boat can turn round are few and far between. Navigators need to know where such places are.
Winding Hole
A wind-ing hole (pronounced as in wind = breeze, not as wine-ding) is a wide section of the canal where narrowboats up to 70 feet (21.3 metres) in length, the maximum accommodated by most locks on the canal system, can be turned round.
