Drone photography captures the Ash Embankment Aqueduct, where the Basingstoke Canal passes above the A331 Blackwater Valley Relief Road near Ash Vale and Aldershot.
From the air, the scene reveals an unusual meeting of waterway, road infrastructure and surrounding green space. The canal continues across the dual carriageway on the aqueduct, while the lakes, woodland and waterways of the Blackwater Valley extend across both sides of the A331.
Basingstoke Canal and Ash Embankment Aqueduct
The Ash Embankment Aqueduct was built to carry the Basingstoke Canal over the A331 and the River Blackwater, which forms part of the boundary between Surrey and Hampshire.
The aerial perspective clearly shows the canal crossing above the road, with the towpath running alongside it. Below, traffic moves through the Blackwater Valley while the canal remains connected to the surrounding landscape of lakes, trees and nature reserves.

The location sits close to Ash Vale, Aldershot, Mytchett and Farnborough, making it a distinctive local landmark within the Surrey and Hampshire border area.
Aerial footage is particularly effective here because it shows the full scale and design of the aqueduct. From ground level, it can appear to be a conventional bridge, but from above it becomes clear that the structure carries an active canal and towpath over the A331.
