The Kennet and Avon Canal is a meandering waterway in south England that stretches nearly 87 miles in length, made up of a couple of stretches of navigable river linked together by a canal. Kennett and Avon Canal is typically used when referring to the full length of the waterway, rather than just the central portion of canal. The waterway travels along the same course as River Avon before it links to River Kennet at Newbury, from there onto Reading on River Thames. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks and bike rides along the canal, or cruise its waters on a stand-up paddleboard, kayak, or canoe.
