Despite the fact that the gates blocking access to the canal have been moved, so it looks as if you could walk along the canal, it really is completely closed at Burbage Wharf - so *do* follow the diversion!...

Another good Slow Way following the Kennet and Avon canal! The route is flat and very easy to follow....
