Find out, in their own words, what the Victorians thought about the Kennet and Avon Canal. From friends in single-person canoes to families in harse-drawn narrow boats, the intrepid adventurers in this volume draw you into their world of creaking lock gates, canalside inns and obstreperous bargemen. Using extracts from first-hand accounts, some of which are reprinted here for the first time, the author unlocks the little-known world of nineteenth century holiday-making on the Kennet and Avon Canal.
