    • Through the center of the town and beyond in both directions flows the Kennett-Avon canal.

    Its great to sit and relax in a bar and see a barge go by.............

    But doing it is better. You can hire barges for the day at around £100 and you can get up to ten people on them depending on the size so it ends up very cheap.

    All you need then is booze and food.

    Your barge company should give you an easy lesson before departure. They boats are very easy to drive but you cant be too quick to overcompensate when you start to drift off in one direction!

    Very fun day with a glass of Pimms watching the world go by and you get to go out and explore while waiting to go through the locks.
