| The Kennet and Avon Canal, which runs from Bristol to Reading, took 16 years to construct. It was opened in 1810 and used to transport many products by barge and narrow boat along its route. However the coming of the railways took away much of its trade and as time passed the canal fell into disrepair. This walk takes in some of its most beautiful scenery, between historic Bath and characterful Bradford Upon Avon. | ||
