The Surrounding Area Running from the River Avon Navigation at Bristol to the River Thames at Reading, the Kennet and Avon Canal provides the link to complete a continuous waterway across Southern England from Bristol to London. After passing Bradford-on-Avon and Trowbridge, the canal leaves the confines of the Avon valley and heads out across the Wiltshire countryside. It passes through the villages of Semington and Seend before approaching the Caen Hill Flight of 16 locks, one the most spectacular features of Britain's inland waterways. The Caen Hill Flight lifts the canal 237 feet over a distance of 2 ¼ miles into the town of Devizes. |
