A fascinating fact about the RMC is that it is built in stretches of straight canal of equal length of about a quarter of a mile before there is a bend. This is because when it was built as a defence, the maximum distance between the bends was just greater than that at which a musket could shoot, thus protecting the defenders from attack.
