Kennet and Avon Canal path was pretty quite on a sunny Tuesday afternoon in September which was useful given that it is very narrow in places so passing people and other bikes could be an issue on a busy day

The Kennet and Avon Canal is 87 miles (140km) long. It links Bristol to Reading joining the natural waterways of the Avon and Kennet rivers with a 57mile (92km) canal. The canal was constructed between 1794 and 1810. The construction of the railways lost the canal a lot of it's trade and it fell into disrepair in the late 19th century. The canal and path have been restored and fully opened again in 1990.
