The River Kennet is a tributary of the River Thames and has a good towpath system in the main, but it can be a tad narrow in places. It forms part of NCN Route 4 that travels from London to Fishguard. A considerable section of this route is on the Kennet & Avon Cycle Route using the canal towpath. Here the village of Woolhampton sits across the swing bridge, there is a lock, a nearby pub, and The Rowbarge Inn, which backs onto the canal.
