Tips from the Community
It's an 87-mile (140 km) long waterway that links the River Avon at Bristol with the River Kennet at Newbury, which in turn connects to the River Thames at Reading. This effectively created an inland navigation route between Bristol and London, avoiding the potentially treacherous sea voyage around the tip of Cornwall. * While originally built for commercial purposes during the Industrial Revolution to transport goods and materials, it later declined with the advent of railways. Today, its primary purpose is for leisure activities such as boating, canoeing, fishing, walking, and cycling. It's also vital for wildlife conservation.

The Kennet and Avon canal is 87 miles long. It connects the River Avon at Bath with the River Thames in Reading. This section, like most of the canal path, is a well surfaced and flat trail, and incredibly scenic, too.
