<P> The 29 locks have a rise of 237 feet in 2 miles ( 72 m in 3.2 km ) or a 1 in 44 gradient . The locks come in three groups . The lower seven locks , Foxhangers Wharf Lock to Foxhangers Bridge Lock , are spread over 3⁄4 of a mile ( 1.2 km ) . The next sixteen locks form a steep flight in a straight line up the hillside and are designated as a scheduled monument . Because of the steepness of the terrain , the pounds between these locks are very short . As a result , 15 locks have unusually large sideways - extended pounds , to store the water needed to operate them . A final six locks take the canal into Devizes . </P>
