I had some time to kill and a dog to walk. Great location, lots to see, good information, generally friendly dog walkers, hikers and canal users. There's a lack of dog poo bins given the popularity of this space with dogs, I asked and was directed to one near the café. Lots of birds, nice views.
Lovely place for a walk as long or short as you need it. It's very peaceful and beautiful. There is a good size car park and a nice cafe, so all the facilities required to spend a couple of hours or more.
If you like canals then this is the perfect place for you. The flight of locks and narrow boats. The little cafe serves a variety of hot and cold food. Walking boots recommend up and down the lock path or into the forest. Parking £3 all day.
Beautiful walk or cycle within easy reach of Devizes (which is also nice for a wander). If boats are travelling along this stretch of canal it's great to see the technology in action enabling them to travel up/down hill. Great day out with a nice cafe at the top of the hill, enjoyed by the whole family, the kids even managed to get in on the action helping boaters through the locks.
Visited the lock today and had a great time. The children learned so much and were even able to help work the locks for a few barges passing through. There were plenty of volunteers about helping maintain the locks and assisting some of the waterway users who needed it. The walk up isn't very steep at all so very manageable for all ages. We will look to visit again.
Great place for a walk and see a very long run of locks. Car park can get crowded and access is difficult due to long single file lane to access it. But worth it in the end. Pleasant walk into Devices along canal path and nearby Cafe.
Fantastic place, the volunteers are amazing and do a great job. They were only too happy to let our boys lend a hand at progressing a boat through the system. The little cafe is nice, priced well and has a good selection of ice creams. The car park is priced well at just £3 a day. A true feat of British engineering.
Great place to visit and walk, I came here with family and it was just lovely way to spend an afternoon. The view is beautiful and the locks are very intriguing. There’s a nice cafe (with toilet- always useful) too for a welcome drink.
