The Kennet & Avon Canal is a popular navigable waterway crossing Southern England, connecting the Bristol Avon at Bath to the Thames at Reading.
The gentle pace of the canal provides plenty of opportunity to see wildlife and the surrounding countryside, as well as historic towns and villages.
There are plenty of historic waterside pubs to visit along the way, all with interesting stories to tell. We’ve published a Kennet & Avon Canal boating holiday destination guide here.
If you’re travelling from abroad and would like to stay in a nearby local hotel before collecting your boat, you may like to book a room with the Widbrook Grange Hotel next to Bradford on Avon Marina.
Sally Narrowboats is located in Bradford on Avon and can cater for your ideal canal boat holiday.
The service we provide, the variety of narrowboats and the opportunity to unwind in idyllic surroundings, in the Wiltshire, Somerset and Berkshire countryside.
From a short break to the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath, to a week (or longer) cruise through the Wiltshire countryside to the beautiful Vale of Pewsey and beyond, you’ll find information about the routes available here.
