Gloucester - Sharpness canal and Stroudwater. They meet at the Saul junction and as it happens there is a Folk Festival on this very w/e.

The S to G cuts-off land near the river Severn which is called (after the canal engineer) Ephraim Island. It takes sea-going vessels and still has a sizeable docks in Berkely (whichis square-ish). they bring a tanker full of house heating feul to Frampton where Saul Junction is.

And Frampton has a folk evening every Tues in the Village Hall.

Very rural though.
