Due to the fact that a lock was broken and we did not know how long they would take to repair it, we had decided to cycle the 9 miles to Bradford-on-Avon. Maggie no problem ..... moi slightly nervous .... weather perfect and not too hot.
..... on arrival we were not disappointed. This is the canal before it joins with the Avon and continues on its way down to Bath and Bristol.
...... on walking in to the town centre we came upon this ancient tea room so had some tea etc!!
The town is situated on a hill and so.. looks quite a mixture of Cotswolds and continental.
...... was amazed to come upon this shop. Any long lost relation I wondered?
some great little alleyways going off the main streets.
The old bridge over the Avon even has a tiny little gaol on it as a warning to visitors.
This 13th Century Tithe Barn was amazing ....... 50 metres long.
Got back to the boat in one piece and went to the Three Magpies for a restorative and watched the last thirty minutes of Nadal being beaten at Wimbledon.
Tomorrow going to see if I can use my Bus Pass to go to Bath for the day prior to turning around and heading back to the Thames and North.
