About Kilcock
The canal reached Kilcock in 1796 and trade began at once, and the town still faces its harbour. The restored basin has grassy banks and benches for a picnic, with shops, cafés and pubs within a few metres of the water and free parking on the streets. At the end of the harbour the double-chambered 16th lock lies beneath the old bridge that joins the two halves of the town. Kilcock Canoe Polo Club, founded in 1998, plays from its base in the harbour, so keep an eye out for paddlers, and every week the flat greenway west of the lock carries a parkrun famous for personal bests. The Gregory Tavern on the Square is a handy local.
