From Semington to Monkton Combe
The Kennet & Avon Canal connected with the Wilts & Berks Canal (under restoration) at Semington, and with the Somersetshire Coal Canal (derelict, other than moorings at the junction) at Monkton Combe.
The canal was closed to through traffic in 1951 despite the then newly formed IWA identifying it as being at risk. Following forty years of campaigning and voluntary restoration work, it was reopened by the Queen in 1990.
