Newbury
The Kennet & Avon Canal meanders through the centre of Newbury – a town popular for its bustling waterside as much as its famous racecourse and enviable position near the North Wessex Downs.
Perfect for a relaxing day out, Newbury is alive with bustling cafes, canalside pubs and restaurants, catering for every need. The Corn Exchange Theatre hosts a lively events calendar throughout the year with something for visitors and locals alike to go and see, whatever their tastes.
Newbury residents are able to take a rejuvenating canalside walk as part of their daily routine. Leave the car at home and walk along the towpath to the supermarket, the post office or the train station – its better for the environment and healthier for you too.
Passing boaters can moor up at Newbury and spend a relaxing few hours exploring the market town – and the many pubs on offer. Don’t forget to pay a visit to Monkey Marsh Lock, a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a rare example of a turf-sided lock.
