There are a number of one week out-and-back routes on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Central Section: This very rural area provides a very quiet week in country scenery.

Mid-week and weekend breaks are available. These can be adapted from the one-week routes above, and include the Bristol-Bath section.

Longer Holidays
From Bristol it is an energetic two-week cruise to Newbury and back. From the Reading area it is a two week cruise to the Caen Hill flight and back. It is also possible to cruise the River Thames to London or to Oxford.
