Mousehole is a beautiful drain. It isn't that long but jam packed with weird shape changes and features.
Shortly after the first segment of concrete arch there is a short redbrick ballon section before continuing back to the concrete and then to this bluestone canal with a redbrick arch top.
There is a grille in this drain that has fallen in and it makes for both good photos and a good entry or exit, although the drain is short enough that you shouldnt need an exit. The best feature is just past here.
After the grille is this bluestone slide, the bluestone can be pretty slippery so take caution going up. From here the drain continues as the bluestone canal/arch shape until a small section of concrete box that is about 1.1m tall, and then after this a 1m RCP pipe to a gutterbox in a park.
