The Wilts & Berks canal opened in 1810, linking the Kennet & Avon canal with the River Thames and running right through Swindon. It closed in 1914, but is now partly restored. Walking the route from the centre of Swindon, this is the first section with water. Not only that, there are two small boats moored up at the end of Dunsford Close back gardens.
