![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 210 W: 308 N: 408]](http://i1.trekearth.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (1517) | Inspired by Bev's [royaldevon's]pictures of the Rochdale canal, I thought I'd try and capture some images of our local canal, the Kennet and Avon.
This picture taken from the road bridge above the lock shows two narrowboats "locking down" to a lower level.
One of the lock gates to the right is [out of sight here] fully open, the one to the left nearly so, and the boats are preparing to move out of the lock.
Since its restoration was completed in 1990, there has been a great upsurge in leisure activities along the route of the canal. As well as travelling on the water, one can walk or cycle along the towpath.
Another picture of this same lock, taken from the opposite direction, can be seen here.
