Narrowboat Holidays in Wiltshire

Top Attractions in Wiltshire

• Devizes –  an historic town that oozes character, with buildings dating back to the 16^th century. Of all the things to do in Devizes we’d probably recommend Wadworth’s Brewery – an independent business where ales may be sampled at their visitor centre.
• The Caen Hill flight – not for the faint-hearted!  This set of 29 locks leading up to Devizes along the Kennet and Avon Canal was a major engineering feat when built at the end of the 18^th century. You’ll enjoy a great view once you reach the top!
• The Kennet & Avon Canal Trust Museum – handily located on the Wharf overlooking the canal at Devizes and tells the tale of the construction, operation, closure and restoration of the canal.

Nearby Attractions

• Bristol is hometown of such disparate characters as John Cabot, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Cary Grant. It’s a fantastic city to explore, full of atmospheric passages and corners, alleyways and stairways as befits a former sea-trading port.

• Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the only place in the UK where you can bathe in naturally hot spa water and original roman style baths.  Dating back many centuries, you’ll want to check out the Pump Room and Assembly rooms made famous by Jane Austin, as well as the Roman Bath museum.
