View showing Bath Weir and Pulteney Bridge

            Bath Weir, despite its beauty,  is actually very dangerous - there have been lots of drownings there over the years from people falling in the river accidentally or being stupid and swimming there on a hot day... the current is very strong. It's also known as  the Drowning Machine.

Bath canoe club have been among the voices campaigning for the council to make it safer for years. One spokesperson said to the media: "On a scale of danger ranging from 0 to 100, I would rate the weir as being 99.5. And what makes it especially deadly is the fact it isn't obvious just how dangerous it is."
