Newbury to Hungerford
About 9 miles, roughly 3½ hours
Swans, a dozen locks and a very welcome bench at Kintbury.
A little notebook of walks along the canals, with where each one starts and finishes, how far it is, how long it takes, and who it suits best. Some are good with a pushchair. Some end at a pub.
