3 - Cowbridge Drain, Hobhole Drain and the disused locks - Hagnaby Lock, Lade Bank Lock and East Fen Lock.
These drains are still officially navigable, but cannot be reached except by trail boats, due to East Fen and and Lade Bank Locks being out of use. Hagnaby Lock is on the West Fen Catchwater Drain, it is gateless and still can be reached by shallow draughted (and low air draughted) craft.
