More about this scene

Much of the foliage has disappeared since this picture was taken. Today, walkers and fishermen can be seen at intervals along the canal, as well as colourful boating activity. The towpath extends between Reading and Bath and is an obvious choice for anyone wanting to undertake an undemanding walking holiday. Woolhampton is one of many pretty villages found along this historic waterway.
