A warm welcome awaits all boating visitors to the Kennet & Avon Canal
The Kennet & Avon Canal exists only because of the commercial need for improved transport as the Agricultural Age moved into the Industrial Age. Navigation is the fundamental use of the waterway and today this is represented largely by leisure boating. Narrowboats are now the dominant type of craft using the waterway but as a broad waterway a variety of wide boats can also be met with. Approximately 1500 boats are based on the Kennet & Avon Canal and these include about 80 hire boats, passenger trip boats and hotel boats. A considerable number of boats visit the canal from other parts of the inland waterway network each year. Most visitors will enter from the River Thames at Reading.
