The Kennet & Avon Canal (part 2)

This second part of the Kennet & Avon Canal video details the Western section of the navigation, concluding the 86 miles through 106 locks. We continue the journey from the summit through Wiltshire and into the County of Avon, providing marvellous backdrops throughout the navigation's course. See the tremendous Caen Flight in Devizes which became the focal point for the official re-opening of the canal by HM the Queen, who, in 1990, navigated through lock 43 at the summit. The flight with its straight 16 locks and a further 13 near the town is an impressive feature and one that shouldn't be missed by any enthusiast. Afterwards, enjoy the tranquil descent to the Avon Valley and the marvellous Georgian town of Bath and experience the impressive Avoncliffe Aqueduct with its neoclassical design. But the programme doesn't stop there as we continue along the unpredictable section of the tidal river Avon from Hanham Lock and into Bristol itself to record the once thriving docks. The two videos make up the entire Kennet & Avon canal for a comprehensive archive, providing a unique insight into this endearing waterway.
