Bradford On Avon Base Hungerford and Return canal boat holiday
A busy weeks canal boat holiday through the pretty villages of Wilcot, Pewsey, Crofton and others and with lots of locks. Pewsey repays the trouble to walk down from the canal wharf. A weather beaten statue depicting King Alfred marks the right-angled entrance into the high street. Wiltshire morphs into Berkshire and a change of county brings a change of mood as the A4 trunk road comes alongside the canal approaching Hungerford. Hungerford’s imposing parish church of St Lawrence overlooks swing-bridge 85.
