The Kennet and Avon Canal cuts a quiet line through Bathwick, marked by the narrowboats painted in bright primary colors that line the towpath. These boats serve as floating homes and transit vessels, occupying the space where coal and stone barges once hauled supplies to fuel the city. In the early nineteen eighties, local enthusiasts began the massive task of restoring this neglected waterway. They cleared debris and rebuilt locks, transforming a clogged industrial relic into the vibrant stretch of water you see today.
