The Kennet And Avon Canal, which those on Canal Boat Holidays in Wiltshire could visit, will be having its 200-year anniversary in 2010.

Travel Daily reports that the official birthday is on December 28th but there will be events running throughout the year that could be perfect for those visiting the area.

Based in the centre of the county, the canal has been in place since 1810 and is an important part of the region's history.

Among the sites that those visiting the region can experience are the Caen Hill Locks, a series of 16 locks that form part of the larger two-mile Devizes line of 29.

According to the website, the area is often popular among lovers of brass rubbings, who can take etchings of insects, plants and wildlife alongside the waterway.

Those on a Canal Boat Holiday in Wiltshire will be able to enjoy its market towns, stately homes and famous tourist sites such as Stonehenge and Avebury.
