It was once the broadest and deepest canal in the world.

Bledisloe Tump

Bledisloe Tump was a castle in the village of Awre in Gloucestershire, England. The first castle on the site was built in the 11th or early 12th century and was a simple timber structure. The site was chosen because it occupied a natural high point overlooking the River Severn. A later mound, 60 ft wide and 7 ft high was also constructed on the site, and it is suspected that this may have been an unfinished motte.

Located at 51.7711, -2.46 (Lat. / Lng.), about 2 miles away.
