    Tips

    September 5, 2024

    There are a total of 104 locks on the 87-mile (140-km) length of the Kennet and Avon canal, and this one here is called Top Lock and is the last lock out of Bath. Nearby is also Top Lock Cottage, which was the cottage lived in by the lock-keeper. In bygone ages, the lock-keeper used to trade goods with boaters. It's a beautiful area with good footpaths and crossing points across the canal.
