►CAROLINE ROBSON, THE CANAL & RIVER TRUST The charity that cares for the waterway Caroline's best thing about the Great West Way:

As a Great West Way traveller, the Kennet & Avon Canal offers you an abundance of natural beauty, outstanding canal structures, fabulous vistas and heritage galore. With so many places to stop off on route, you don't have to travel far from the tranquil water to discover little known corners of quintessential England as well as urban centres including the architectural masterpiece of Bath. Caen Hill in Devizes is the second longest flight of locks in the country and an absolute must to visit!
