Kennet & Avon Canal - a photo on Flickriver

The Kennet & Avon Canal, seen here at Newbury in Berkshire, was built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. From Bristol to Bath the waterway and its 105 locks followed the River Avon before the canal connected it to the River Kennet at Newbury, and then on to the River Thames at Reading. Although the canal gradually fell into disuse after the opening of the Great Western Railway in the mid-19th century, its 87 miles were later fully restored and the waterway is now popular for various leisure activities.
