The Newbury & return is an ideal
canal boat holidays cruising route
for you to explore.

This cruise takes you up the fantastic Caen Flight of locks, this flight of 16 locks must be the most impressive anywhere on the Uks waterways. The flight of 16, is part of a longer 29 lock flight that takes you into the lovely old country market town of Devizes.

Cruise through the vale of Pewsey through lush Wiltshire countryside with scattered canalside villages to the town of Hungerford in Berkshire.

Beyond Hungerford the canal shares the valley with both the railway and the River Kennet, beginning to use the river course as the navigation.
The Kennet & Avon Canal is so central to Newbury that the main shopping street passes directly over it.
