Customers' Comments
Read what some of our previous clients say about the Kennet & Avon Canal.
"What a sight and experience navigating the 27 locks down the hill to Foxhangers. The many canal side inns offered sustaining refreshments and jovial hospitality along the way, and the forest and rolling hills with manor houses from Bradford on Avon to the two aqueducts at Avoncliff and Dundas were breathtaking."

"Bath - what can one say, it is awe inspiring to approach by canal, through the magnificent bridges and tunnels with the majestic sandstone buildings forming a backdrop all around. We spent a whole day exploring Bath, and reliving the same experiences of wonderment of our first visit in 1972! This was our first canal trip, but we are hooked! Already planning the next one!"

"Pewsey to Bath and return on the Kennet and Avon Canal. Wonderful canal scenery, terrific locks, especially Devizes. Canal from Pewsey to Bath and return, passing initially through picturesque rolling fields, past the white horse at Pewsey, through small quaint villages, to the Caan Hill locks at Devizes."

"Excellent holiday - we went from Bristol along the Kennet and Avon Canal through Bath and Bradford on Avon to the base of the Caen Hill flight just short of Devices - and return. Lots of interesting and historic places."
