    Tips

    An impressive set of 29 locks cross the canal one after the other between Rowde and Devizes on the Kennet and Avon Canal. Engineered by John Rennie in the 18th century to allow boats to climb the steep hill, the locks take around 5 hours to pass by boat.



    As thousands of trees were planted around the locks to mark the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, you’ll also find beautiful nature and wildlife here.
