Hiking

The Kennet & Avon Canal is one of our most well-loved waterways. The 87 mile long canal links London with the Bristol Channel, and passes through some spectacular landscapes including West Berkshire and the rolling Cotswolds. But this haven in southern England faced closure in the last century and was only brought back to life thanks to the tireless dedication of volunteers.

Hiking

Very impressive how the boats can be brought higher or lower using simple means.

Old lock in the Avon Canal at the junction with the River Avon. In the past, ships mainly transported stone here, but that time has now passed. What remains are these lovely locks just outside the centre of Bath.
