Sunny spot, wide bridge. Has a chest-heighted metal fence, should be safe.

This pond is nestled within the woodland of Benyon's Inclosure. There is an embankment with a track that runs across the pond offering a pleasant pathway to stroll out, take in the views, and observe the surrounding wildlife.

Quiet spot right next to Kennet Avon canal

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.

The Kennet and Avon Canal runs for 87 miles (140 km) from the River Avon in Bath to Reading and the River Thames. It was completed in 1810 and then repaired between 1960 and 1990 after falling into disrepair due to the railways. Today it's almost completely leisure use with a brilliant tow-path running almost the entire length, perfect for car free miles of flat riding.

Lovely café, now open sensible days and times. Fair prices and choices.

Superb tearooms, the latte and coffee cake were delicious and very welcome. Outside tap to fill up water bottle. Toilet very clean

At 87 miles in length, the Kennet & Avon Canal links Bristol to Reading. It is in part navigable canal and part Rivers; the Avon between Bristol and Bath, The Kennet at Newbury and the Thames in Reading. It's a peaceful place for a walk, just a short distance from Reading Town Centre.
