More information on Kennet & Avon Canal
The canals of England, once the arteries that carried the life-blood of commerce have in the past few decades become one of the greatest pleasure boating venues and conservation areas. The Kennet and Avon Canal by virtue of the beautiful countryside it traverses is one of the loveliest of English canals. Completed in 1810 it was built to connect Reading with Bath and then Bristol via the River Avon. Aside from its beauty, the canal boasts a spectacular flight of 29 locks which haul the water level up an astonishing 70 meters in the space of two miles and are now equipped with a water-saving system of back-pumps to recycle the water, so the locks can now be open to boats every day.
