Brassknocker Basin is about 5 miles south east of Bath on the Somerset Coal Canal, which joins the more well known Kennet and Avon Canal nearby.

Last Sunday we arranged to meet my daughter there after her girlie weekend in Bristol, so she could retrieve her daughter from us and take her back up the M4 to London and their home.

It was raining when we arrived at the car park with an hour to spare, so we had our picnic lunch in the car, waiting until it had stopped. Once it was dry again we headed up the slope to the basin to wander canalside and see all the moored narrowboats.

(Note how someone had to get in on the act.)

Nearby is one of those fantastic feats of canal engineering, an aquaduct that carries the canal over the Limpley Stoke Valley, the railway that comes up from Salisbury, and the River Avon.

We spent a pleasant 45 minutes exploring and avoiding as much as possible of the mud, before we arrived at the basin’s café and some restorative hot drinks and ice cream in time for our meeting.

(In the preview of this I was disappointed as, unless I made the text too small to read, I could only see a small part of the pics I'd posted, so I'll post again in help about this, and hopefully it will get sorted.)
