The Kennet and Avon Canal is a lovely waterway that runs from Bath to Reading. It also forms much of the mainly off-road Sustrans national route 4 that links on from Bath to Bristol along a lovely former railway path. It's a good 2 day cycle of 108 miles from Bristol to Reading, mainly on the flat.

There are several good places to get vegetarian and vegan food along this route, so use this website (which has extended into Wiltshire for this purpose) and the Thames Valley Veggies website for the eastern end and the Vegan Bristol website for the western end (Bath to Bristol) to find the best places to eat and stay.

If you know of any places we should add in along it, please say.

Thanks to Joe Dunckley of flickr for sharing the lovely photo of the canal.
