点评:We've just had a wonderful week cruising on the Kennet & Avon Canal from Hilperton down to Bath and back on a well-appointed and comfortable 55ft narrow boat called the Black Swan. The staff at Hilperton couldn't have been more helpful to us novices and most of the fellow boaters we met were also friendly and helpful. We were lucky in there being volunteers to operate the locks at Bradford-upon-Avon and Bath plus very considerate cyclists who opened and closed the swing bridges. We saw swans, herons, ducks, moorhens and coots, most with their young, and beautiful scenery. Bath is an amazing city, with so much history and delightful architecture, while the pretty town of Bradford-upon-Avon is utterly charming, with its own historical buildings. My husband even managed to fit in a half day fishing, landing a dozen albeit small dace. Happy days!
