最近放假闲着也是闲着，自然就脚痒了，计划着去bath附近走走。。。于是Bradford-on-avon的名字就出现在了我的面前。。。查了一下沿着Kennet and Avon Canal步行的话不过，9英里（15km不到）像我这样不太运动的懒人，沿运河走走是最惬意的，毕竟是一路平坦，没什么上坡下坡（上次去Jurassic Coast徒步差点没把我累死http://forum.powerapple.com/modules.php?name=forum&file=viewtopic&forum=20&topic=18362有时间把这个也转过来)
名词解释：
1。
Kennet and Avon Canal is a canal in southern England. which linked the River Kennet at Newbury to the River Avon at Bath, or to the entire navigation between the River Thames at Reading and the Floating Harbour at Bristol.The River Kennet was made navigable to Newbury in 1723, and the River Avon to Bath in 1727. The canal between Newbury and Bath opened in 1810 and is 57 miles (92 km) long. The two river navigations and the canal total 87 miles (140 km) in length.
而bath和Bradford-on-avon之间那段才9miles。。。还基本和avon河平行，我也不知道英国佬做啥没事造这么一段，估计是当时的货运量真的很大吧！
2。
Bradford on Avon is a town in west Wiltshire, England with a population of about 9,326.[1] It is the smallest of the five towns in West Wiltshire. The town's canal, historic buildings, shops, pubs and restaurants make it popular with tourists.
The history of the town can be traced back to Roman origins. It has several buildings dating to the 17th century, when the town grew due to the thriving English woollen textile industry.
挺安静的一个小镇，其实我到那里的时候已经傍晚6点了，还没好还逛一下小镇。。。（下次骑车再去过）
3。
Bath is a city in the south west of England. It is situated 97 miles (156 km) west of London and 13 miles (21 km) south-east of Bristol. The population of the city is about 80,000.[1] It was granted city status by Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I in 1590,[2] and was made a county borough in 1889 which gave it administrative independence from its county, Somerset. The city became part of Avon when that county was created in 1974. Since 1996, when Avon was abolished, Bath has been the principal centre of the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES), a part of the ceremonial county of Somerset.
The city was founded, among surrounding hills, in the valley of the River Avon around naturally occurring hot springs (the only ones in the United Kingdom, using the common definition of a spring with water above average human body temperature) where the Romans built baths and a temple,[3] giving it the name Aquae Sulis. Edgar was crowned king of England at Bath Abbey in 973.[4] Much later, it became popular as a spa resort during the Georgian era, which led to a major expansion that left a heritage of exemplary Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone.
As City of Bath the city became a World Heritage Site in 1987. The city has a variety of theatres, museums, and other cultural and sporting venues, which have helped to make it a major centre for tourism, with over one million staying visitors and 3.8 million day visitors to the city each year.[5] The city has two universities and several schools and colleges. There is a large service sector and growing information and communication technologies and creative industries, providing employment for the population of Bath and the surrounding area.

原本计划，早早起来出去徒步的。。。结果，醒来都11点多了，梳洗吃饭，拿上地图，相机，背上包出门都下午1点了。。。
首先杀到sydeny garden。。。这个地方不错，没事可以去坐着看火车-。=！
穿过 sydeny gardens就是运河了。。。
不一会就走出城了
把船搞得跟花园似的
现在21世纪讲究节能减碳，绿色能源。。。发现在英国这个没太阳的地方太阳能板相当普及。。。（至少在船上，一半左右的都有这个。。）
有钱人家的后花园，出来就是运河
这个很刁，小桥就这么被打来了。。。
穿过铁路去avon河看看。。。
拍一张赶快跑。。。
过了铁路便是avon河，河上有个pumping room，主要就是把avon河里的水打到运河里。。。一路上一直是河，铁轨，运河，平行着走。。。
回到运河继续走。。。
一座石桥，桥下走的是avon河和铁轨，那桥上呢？
没错，当然走运河咯！
走过，一处，写着，‘里面雅座’。看了时间，已然4点半了，还有3英里没走。。。。边进去小歇片刻，咖啡+蛋糕的干活！
休息完，接着往前，大鸟1只，不知叫啥。。。
过了个小村后，里bradford还有1英里多，看腻了运河，沿着河走好了。。。
一个水车，依然是危房了！
过了这座桥就是Bradford-on-avon了，这时正好传来教堂的礼拜钟声，刚好6点
过了一桥又一桥。。。
在镇上随便看了下，因为周日，又是傍晚了，没啥人，商店也都不开。。。坐火车回bath去了。。。加上休息一共走了5小时，火车，开了15mins-。=！
end!
