To have

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.

Great coffee shop with good selection of cakes and sandwiches

The Caen Hill Locks are one of the highlights of Route 4 on the Avon K Canal. Physically this is interesting. The water flows down the mountain, but the ship floats up the mountain lock by lock due to its own buoyancy.

Small cafe but does excellent food, cake and drinks. Quirky shop as well.
