To have

The faded plaque above the pump house door is thought to read "Wexcombe Waterworks the gift of William Corbin Finch 1899". After a "cheeky" climb up Wexcombe (heading south). The brick built pump house makes for an intriguing short stop

Some really beautiful canal boats to be found along the walkway

With 29 locks in a flight over a distance of 3.2 kilometres (2 miles) and a rise of 72 metres (237 feet) . The first lock at Foxhangers Wharf and the last lock in Devizes town.

Be careful on the final descent, pothole in road on steep section. Hit that at speed and you could do some damage. Otherwise a very nice steady climb in two parts. Great views from the top.

Great coffee shop with good selection of cakes and sandwiches
