The Avon Ring

The Avon Ring offers a stunning array of landscapes, including rolling countryside, tranquil rivers and quaint villages

The 108-mile long journey goes through 131 locks and navigates sections of the Stratford Canal, River Avon, River Severn and Worcester & Birmingham Canal. It takes you through the counties of Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

Highlights include: Bancroft Basin in Shakespeare’s Stratford; the River Avon with its panoramic views; the charming historic town of Evesham; the Cotswold medieval town of Tewskesbury; the City of Worcester with its magnificent cathedral; the flight of 30 locks at Tardebigge; and cruising through the remains of the Forest of Arden.

You can complete this epic circuit on a two week break from Wootton Wawen or Tardebigge in around 58 hours.
