Bradford on Avon

The Kennet & Avon Canal in Wiltshire

The attractive town of Bradford on Avon perches quietly on the banks of the Kennet & Avon Canal; a haven for boaters, canoeists and cyclists (who can hire all the equipment they need once they arrive).

Boaters cruising along the Kennet & Avon Canal can tie up at convenient visitor moorings in Bradford on Avon and explore the historic dock at leisure. Landlubbers can dip their toes in the water with a cruise on the trip boat – and see the sights of Wiltshire from a different perspective.

Bradford on Avon boasts plenty of pubs and restaurants, not least the popular Lock Inn Café which stands on the banks of the canal and offers guests a hearty breakfast, delicious lunches and superb evening meals. Work up an appetite with a walk along the towpath and take a visit.
