The Kennet and Avon Canal stretches from Bristol to London and marks a mostly straight line across the width of the country. There are plenty of stunning sections of footpath alongside the canal, and this is one of the many pretty locks.

Just outside Hungerford, Wire Lock is a perfect example of a wooden lock gate. You'll often see colourful narrow boats here too, the icing on the cake to such lovely surroundings.
