Looking north towards Coven, Gailey and Penkridge.
The canal is very wide here at the Three Hammers Farm Winding Hole.
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.
