The Kennet and Avon Canal is a canal in so … The Kennet and Avon Canal is a canal in southern England. The name may refer to either the route of the original Kennet and Avon Canal Company, which linked the River Kennet at Newbury to the River Avon at Bath, or to the entire navigation between the River Thames at Reading and the Floating Harbour at Bristol, including the earlier improved river navigations of the River Kennet between Reading and Newbury and the River Avon between Bath and Bristol. The River Kennet was made navigable to Newbury in 1723, and the River Avon to Bath in 1727. The Kennet and Avon Canal between Newbury and Bath was built between 1794 and 1810 by John Rennie, to convey commercial barges carrying a variety of cargoes, and is 57 miles (92 km) long. The two river navigations and the canal total 87 miles (140 km) in length. The section from Bristol to Bath is the course of the River Avon, which flows through a wide valley and has been made navigable by a series of locks and weirs. In the later 19th century and early 20th century the canal fell into disuse following competition from the Great Western Railway, who owned the canal. Between 1970 and 1990 the canal was restored, largely by volunteers, and today is a popular heritage tourism destination, for boating, canoeing, fishing, walking and cycling. It is also important for wildlife conservation. There are 105 locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal from Bristol to the River Thames, including six on the navigable section of the River Avon from Bristol to Bath and nine on the navigable section of the River Kennet to its confluence with the Thames near Reading. The remaining 90 locks lie along the 57 miles (92 km) of canal. In Bath the canal separates from the river but follows its valley as far as Bradford on Avon. The ornate Bath Locks lead to a stretch through Limpley Stoke valley with few locks. The flight of locks at Devizes, including the Caen Hill Locks, raises the canal to its longest pound, which then ascends the four Wootton Rivers locks to the short summit pound which includes the Bruce Tunnel. Pumping stations are used to supply the canal with water. The canal continues through the rural landscape of Wiltshire and Berkshire before joining the River Kennet at Newbury and becoming a navigable river to Reading, where it flows into the River Thames.ing, where it flows into the River Thames.
, Le canal Kennet et Avon est un canal situé … Le canal Kennet et Avon est un canal situé dans le sud de l'Angleterre. Le nom peut faire référence au tracé de l’originelle compagnie du canal Kennet & Avon, qui reliait la Kennet à Newbury à la rivière Avon à Bath, ou à la voie de navigation entre la Tamise à Reading et à Bristol, y compris les voies fluviales aménagées navigations fluviales de la rivière Kennet entre Reading et Newbury et la rivière Avon, entre Bath et Bristol. La rivière Kennet a été rendue navigable jusqu’à Newbury en 1723, et la rivière Avon jusqu’à Bath en 1727. Le canal Kennet et Avon entre Newbury et Bath a été construit entre 1794 et 1810 par John Rennie, pour faire naviguer des péniches de commerce transportant de multiples variétés de cargaisons. Il mesure 92 km (57 miles) de long. Les deux voies navigations fluviales et le canal font au total 140 km (87 miles) de longueur. La section de Bristol à Bath suit le cours de la rivière Avon qui coule dans une vallée large et qui a été rendue navigable par une série d'écluses et déversoirs. Il y a un total de 105 écluses sur le canal Kennet et Avon de Bristol à la Tamise, dont 6 sur la partie navigable de la rivière Avon de Bristol à Bath et 9 sur la partie navigable de la rivière Kennet jusqu'à son confluent avec la Tamise près de Reading. Les 90 autres écluses se trouvent le long des 92 km (57 miles) du canal. À Bath, le canal se sépare de la rivière, mais suit sa vallée jusqu’à Bradford on Avon. Les écluses de Bath conduisent à un tronçon passant par la vallée de Limpley Stoke avec quelques écluses. L'ensemble d’écluse à Devizes, y compris les écluses de Caen Hill, amène le canal à son tronçon le plus long, qui s’élève grâce aux 4 écluses de Wooton Rivers jusqu’au bief le plus haut qui comprend le tunnel Bruce. Des stations de pompage sont utilisés pour alimenter le canal en eau. Le canal poursuit sa course au travers des paysages ruraux du Wiltshire et du Berkshire, avant de rejoindre la rivière Kennet à Newbury et de devenir un fleuve navigable à Reading, où il se jette dans la Tamise. À la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle, le canal est tombé en désuétude car il était en compétition avec le chemin de fer Great Western Railway, qui était propriétaire du canal. Entre 1970 et 1990, le canal a été restauré, en grande partie par des bénévoles, et est aujourd'hui une destination populaire pour le tourisme de mémoire, pour la navigation de plaisance, le canotage, la pêche, la marche et le cyclisme. Il est également important pour la conservation de la faune sauvage. pour la conservation de la faune sauvage.
