Newbury History

From Watership Down in the south to the ancient Ridgeway in the north, Newbury sits within an area of outstanding natural beauty, enjoying a rich heritage of castles, theatres and waterways and is one of the finest locations for horse racing, the Sport of Kings.

Kennet & Avon Canal
