List of locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal

The Kennet and Avon Canal between Newbury and Bath was built between 1794 and 1810 by John Rennie, to convey commercial barges carrying a variety of cargoes,[2] and is 57 miles (92 km) long.

The two river navigations and the canal total 87 miles (140 km) in length.

[1] The section from Bristol to Bath is the course of the River Avon, which flows through a wide valley and has been made navigable by a series of locks and weirs.

Between 1970 and 1990 the canal was restored,[3] largely by volunteers, and today is a popular heritage tourism destination, for boating, canoeing, fishing, walking and cycling.

[1] In Bath the canal separates from the river but follows its valley as far as Bradford on Avon.
