The Kennet & Avon Canal doesn\u2019t technically go all the way to Bristol. The canal officially begins at Hanham Lock No. 1, about 3.87 mi\/6.22 km from the city center in a straight line. The canal, however, is in reality the canalized River Avon, and downstream from Hanham Lock the river becomes the Bristol Avon Navigation for 14.5 mi\/23.3km all the way to the Bristol Channel at Avonmouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately there are more things to do in Bristol than I can reasonably do in the time I\u2019ll have, but regardless here\u2019s a list of what I might attempt (to which I will keep adding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
