time on the<br />
Kennet &<br />
Avon Canal<br />
The beautiful Kennet & Avon Canal (or K&A as it’s known)<br />
flows along 87 miles of the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Way®</strong>. From Bath to<br />
Reading, it winds through quintessential rolling Wiltshire hills,<br />
bustling towns and even a World Heritage Site.<br />
Since 1810, narrowboats have drifted along at four miles an hour, plying their trade from Bristol to London.<br />
Today, you’ll find a mixture of holiday and live-aboard boaters, all seeking the calm and tranquillity that<br />
comes from life on or by the water.<br />
In fact, research by the Canal & River Trust, the charity that looks after the K&A, suggests spending time<br />
next to water is good for your wellbeing. So take a wander along the towpath, paddle away on a canoe,<br />
jump aboard a boat trip, or simply stop, stare and take it all in. The K&A is free and open for everyone to<br />
use and enjoy every day.<br />
