You approach Bath via Claverton past Bathampton and Bathford north and south of the K&A. The run into Bath and out by the Royal Victoria gardens marked by the Midlands Rd Bridge no 202 is about 6 miles, there are 6 locks and if youa re just passing through would take about 3 hours. It would be a great shame to miss Bath however with just a simple cruise through.The city of Bath was made a world heritage sight in 1987 by any standards its a beautiful spa town nestling in a unspoilt corner of England. Packed with things to see do and simply take in the visual feast of countryside and architecture at it’s distinctive and very British best. YOU have just got to take a day or two here if you can!
Bath is steeped in history, architecture, art and culture with well documented and surviving connections with the Roman occupation but stretching back much further into iron and Bronze Age history as well. The famous Royal Crescent has to be seen if you can, you boat is a flaoting hotel from which you can explore all the sights.
The Avon is navigable got short distance at tail of Widecombe (Bath Bottom) Lock and is worth a detour you can be lucky and get a mooring within sight of Pultenay Bridge which is the perfect location. Other moorings within the city can be found on Churchill Rd Bridge (198)
