All support is hugely appreciated and it helps me keep the channel going!
No talking, just walking. Exploring the English Countryside. A nice gentle walk along the Kennet and Avon Cana and the 29 locks. It is one of the longest continuous flight of locks in the UK, they were built to overcome a steep elevation change of 72 meters (237 ft) over a relatively short distance of 2 miles (3.2 km). The locks were constructed between 1794 and 1810 as part of the Kennet and Avon Canal project. The primary purpose of the canal was to connect the River Thames at Reading with the River Avon at Bath, providing a vital trade route for goods like coal and stone. The sight of the 29 locks in succession creates a stunning visual spectacle, attracting tourists and canal enthusiasts from around the world. It's a popular spot for photography and leisurely walks along the towpath.
A beautiful walk! Do enjoy :)

About Dave's Walks
Hi there, I‘m Dave! I've lived in the English Countryside all my life, and I love it! I enjoy walking, and couldn’t help but notice just how beautiful the UK can be away from the cities. I found myself inspired and decided to get some camera equipment and make some walking videos so I can share my walks of the beautiful countryside with everyone!
I mainly focus on small towns, villages, picturesque landscapes, rolling hills and mountains, forests and canals, all along the coastlines in England, Scotland, Wales, and who knows maybe one day further afar!
I upload every Sunday 11.45am GMT (3.45am PST) (6.45am EST) (5.15pm IST) (9.15pm ACST)

I use the free version of Davinci Resolve 16 to do some really basic editing. Mainly making sure the sky isn't over exposed. It's from Camera straight to TH-cam. No cuts, no fancy business, no talking, just walking.

Thanks for another great video Dave! I always love the canal walks.
Very attractive !
A lot thanks
Thank you for this video, Dave. The name Caen Hill caught my attention because in France, we have a city named Caen. Through your video, I was able to learn that the Caen Hill locks are named after Caen in honor of the French city that served as inspiration for their design. 🙂🙂 hello from France 🇨🇵
glad you enjoyed it! I wasn't aware of there being a French city Caen! I learn something everyday!
❤relax

Thank You for the peace and Serenity
Amazing Caen! Loved your wave to us at 0:58 ah ah. The dogs at 48:14 were so happy for being out!! 😊 Loved to go through that tunnel at 1:08:35. As usual, an amazing walk!! Thanks for all your amazing work.
Glad you enjoyed ZenWalks!
Looking forward to this one!
👋👋👋 that's a lot of locks! i read it takes a five to six hours to go through them! ❤❤❤
Indeed it is no fast process getting a boat through those locks..
i wonder what it' s like in high season with multiple boats wanting to go in each direction. so refreshing to see green grass and even puddles. It's hot, dry and smokey here in British Columbia
Really love the canal walks!! Just finished a Novel based on the canals!! Made it more interesting knowing what I’m seeing in your walks!!❤
I always enjoy your Canal walks Dave mate. They are second to your riverside ones for me. Loved this one a lot. Keep up the amazing work you do.
Thank you RavenStrike!
somewhere beside those hill locks,in 1896,my g-father proposed to my g-mother (and was accepted!). I remember the canal as a weed and rubbish choked mudbath in the 50s, with occasional ponds inhabited by disconsolate swans, and a very few, rotting,lock gates.
Something about canal walks that are so peaceful and relaxing. This stretch of canal looks beautiful. Great video Dave.
Thank you :)
Que lugar incrível, seu vídeo é sempre um aprendizado, obrigado!
feliz em ouvir isso!
Good
Excellent Dave. Does that canal freeze in the winter 😮? ❄️ And love seeing the ducks.
Yes I think it is common for all the canals to freeze over when we get a cold snap. We have had some mild winters lately, but even then there is usually a week or two where there is some ice.
@@DavesWalks thanks. Enjoy your day.
Say hi to King Charles 🤴
I'm in the US and not familiar with these types of canals. What are all the boats? Do people live on them or are they for commerce? Thank you for this lovely walk and the incredible Avebury walk with the stones. I've become a big fan of your channel. ❤🚶♀
They are indeed house boats. With the advantage you can take your house and live around the country.
@@DavesWalks sounds fun!
central London?? I think not. I hope the cake was good and boosted your blood sugar! thanks for a lovely walk.
ah😅 an oversight when editing it seems, this was in Wiltshire. It was indeed a lovely cake!
