The Kennet & Avon Canal meanders through the market town of Newbury, with a pretty waterside path running alongside it, and plenty of boat moorings. At Newbury Wharf, you can see many buildings linked to the canal's history. The canal passes through the leafy Victoria Park, with the traditional English attractions of a boating lake, bandstand and bowls club.
And while the Canal & River Trust are the charity who own and care for over 2,000 miles of waterways, including the K&A, we also work closely with our neighbouring charity, the Kennet & Avon Canal Trust at Newbury Wharf. They run a café, information centre and boat trips on the wharf to find out more about the canal.
By car - there's a public pay & display car park at Newbury Wharf
By train - Newbury Station is a 10 minute walk to the wharf
By boat - there are visitor moorings and boating services along the towpath as well as services at Newbury Marina
