The charity making life better by water

Newbury Wharf

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.

We 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.
