Newbury is in Berkshire, not Hampshire, and the canal never enters Hampshire either.

This is lit up at night in lovely colours.

Newbury is a vibrant and bustling town located on the banks of the River Kennett in Hampshire. The town is known for its historic buildings, quaint shops, and busy markets, as well as a number of historical sites such as the ruins of Donnington Castle and the 12th-century St. Nicholas Church.

Thatcham Lake is a picturesque body of water located in the Thatcham Reedbed Nature Reserve. The lake is home to a diverse range of bird species, including reed warblers, bitterns, and marsh harriers, and hosts a network of trails where you can enjoy these beautiful species up close in their habitat.

Pleasant coffee stop.

Built in 1796, this impressive lock is still in perfect working order. It's part of the Kennet and Avon Canal, and can be found right in the centre of Newbury. The lock is a grade II-listed structure and was originally the most easterly lock on the canal before it was extended.

Sprawling 17 sq miles (27 sq km) across the West Berkshire landscape, Thatcham Reedbed is a beautiful nature reserve. With lowland heathland, ancient woodland, reedbeds, rivers and streams, the area is thriving with wildlife such as tiny Desmoulin's whorl snails, 14 species of dragonfly and moorhen. The reserve is open at all times.

A pretty park in Newbury, Victoria Park has been at the centre of town life for over a century. Originally called The Marsh, the park changed its name at the turn of the 20th century to reflect the popularity of Queen Victoria at the time. Until 1930, the park was designated common land used to graze cattle. Today, the park houses a bandstand, tennis courts, bowls club, skatepark, and boating lake, with a statue of Queen Victoria in the middle of the park.
