Pets are welcome at the site, and there are even designated
enclosed dog-walking areas where you can exercise your
canine companion. The location of the site alongside the
Kennet & Avon Canal also means you will have lovely dog
walk options along the towpath; head East along the canal to
reach the spectacular Caen Hill Locks after around two miles.
This staircase of locks carries the canal up and over a hill in an
impressive feat of 19th century engineering.
