The Kennet and Avon Canal winds for 87 miles from the Bristol Channel to the Thames River in Reading, UK. Its route passes through some of the most beautiful parts of England, including Bath. Along the Bath portion of the Kennet and Avon Canal there is a beautiful and peaceful walkway along either side, called the towpath. Here, visitors can go for a leisurely stroll, take a jog, or ride their bike along the canal. For those who are looking for an educational experience to go with their walk, there are two audio trails located along the Kennet and Avon Canal that can teach visitors about the history and importance of the waterway.
