The Kennet and Avon Canal is a waterway comprising two sections of navigable river linked by a section of canal. It travels through gorgeous countryside and vibrant urban areas, beginning in Bristol and finishing in Reading. This stretch of the canal is exceptionally pretty, with colourful narrowboats, vibrant hedges and even the odd kingfisher flitting around.
