Open Day on the Kennet & Avon Canal

Seend Cleeve, Seend, Wiltshire, SN12 6QB

About

Join the Canal & River Trust for an opportunity to see Canal Winter works in progress at this beautiful location on the Kennet & Avon Canal.

The five locks at Seend on the Kennet & Avon Canal were once a hive of activity with trade. Today, they are a picture of tranquillity.

This winter the Canal & River Trust team are replacing some lock gates, each handmade at their specialist workshop. The gates will be carefully craned into position to keep this busy canal open and available for people to enjoy. Specialists will be on hand to talk about the works taking place as well as the wider efforts to look after this 200-year-old canal which has become a haven for locals, tourists and wildlife.

Free reserved parking is available for those wishing to visit the site arriving by car - you will need to book in advance.
