Mountainbiking

A pretty set of nine locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal, the Crofton Locks were designed by John Rennie to supply water to the western end. Next to the locks, the Crofton Pumping Station has a cafe, gift shop and picnic area.

The area also provides important habitat for wildlife and is home to lots of swans, ducks, moorhens, thrushes and even common lizards and and slow worms.

There is a WWII pill box next to the parking lot. It's part of the defense line along the canal.

Cykling

Crofton Pumping Station advertises that it has the oldest working steam engine in the world. The idea was actually to route the canal through a mountain at a lower altitude using a tunnel. But this project was too expensive and too complex. That's why the pumping station was built. It once reliably filled the canal with water at the geographically highest points of the route.
