Dundas Aqueduct, Stone aqueduct in Monkton Combe and Winsley, England.

The Dundas Aqueduct extends 137.2 meters across the River Avon, featuring classical architecture with rusticated arches and paired pilasters.

Engineer John Rennie constructed this Grade I listed structure in 1805 as part of the Kennet and Avon Canal transportation network.

Bronze plaques from 1828 display inscriptions honoring Charles Dundas and John Thomas, who contributed to the canal's development.

The structure continues to carry water from the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon, maintaining its original engineering purpose.

The aqueduct incorporates elliptical flanking arches with battered curved plain ashlar revetments and a Doric cornice with triglyph frieze.
