Kennet and Avon Canal Trust
1 The Wharf, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 1EB
The Trust Headquarters building is an historic bonded warehouse on Devizes Wharf. On the upper floor, the Trust’s museum tells the tale of the construction, operation, closure and restoration of the canal. Devizes was a major centre for the construction of the Kennet and Avon canal, and especially the spectacular Caen Hill flight of 29 locks; this was a major engineering feat when it was built at the end of the 18th century. An easy walk from the Wharf to the top of the flight provides excellent views of surrounding countryside. The tow path in both directions from Devizes is well used by walkers, cyclists and fishermen.
