  • Small family-run site 200 metres from the Kennet & Avon Canal
  • Walking, cycling and fishing along the canal towpath
  • Within easy reach of Avebury, Stonehenge and Bath
Are these ducks among the cutest neighbours you might see waddling along at any waterside site in the land? This quacking state of affairs is at family-run Foxhangers Canalside Holidays in Wiltshire, a peaceful place 200 metres from the Kennet & Avon Canal, which flows placidly between Reading and Bristol. Foxhangers is on a 90-acre farm, around a mile from the village of Rowde and three miles from Devizes. Famed south-west destinations including Avebury and Stonehenge, the Georgian city of Bath and Longleat Safari Park are all within easy reach. The farm is next to the canal towpath, an all-weather path for cycling or walking along its flight of 18th-century locks along to Devizes or into the Wiltshire countryside. The canal is also well stocked with fish: angling licences can be bought on site. Foxhangers has showers and toilets in a block around 65 metres from the accommodation fields, as well as a washing-up area and chemical disposal. Gas cylinders are available to buy.

What customers say

A quiet, rural spot with big pitches and great canal access for walks/cycles to Devizes. Facilities are clean but a bit dated for some, and a walk from pitches. Owners are praised for being welcoming. Peaceful, good value, with many wanting to return.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Basic, no fuss site, good showers and toilets. The site was idilic, quiet, peaceful and surounded in mature hedges with weeping willow trees in the field for shade. A short walk from the farm brings you to the canal with the famous 29 locks. Recommended!

Disliked Didn't spend enough time there!

Anthony A. 1 review

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely quiet rural site with plenty of space and excellent access to the canal for walking and cycling. Walk to Devizes along the tow path about 2 miles passing scenic locks and a nice cafe. Traffic free Cycled to Bradford on Avon about 10 miles. Friendly owners. A pub with food the 3 Magpies about a 1 mile walk along the towpath, walk another mile and there’s another the barge with canal side views

Disliked Nothing really just be aware some of the pitches slope slightly so if in a camper van bring levellers to put under the wheels. Some people commented about dated facilities, don’t worry, there’s plenty of showers toilets, washing up areas and hot water so in my opinion not an issue.

 Roxanne C. 1 review

Electric grass pitch (large)

Liked The size of the pitch.
The owners (welcoming).
The toilets / showers and washing up areas were clean and plenty of room.
Its right next to the canal for lovely walks.

Disliked There was no local shop, we had to walk a long while just to get some drinks and snacks. There are plenty of empty buildings/space where a few shelves and a fridge could be put to sell snacks, drinks , essentials. Even if there is a bell to press to get someone to come out to sell these items.

No play park for the kids but plenty of free space for them to run.

Local attractions

Wander the canal first of all, for a short stroll along its locks or for the peacefully scenic three-mile walk into the market town of Devizes, home of 29 canal locks and hundreds of historic sites including over 500 listed buildings and an 11th-century Norman castle. History is all around here, such as at the famed and ancient stones of Avebury, 10 miles away, Chippenham and Trowbridge, both within 15 miles, and Lacock Abbey & Cloisters six miles away, used as a location in some of the Harry Potter films. The petting zoo, adventure playground, Georgian stately home and Capability Brown-designed gardens Bowood House & Gardens are seven miles away. A 20-mile drive will take you to the Roman baths, shopping and beaut old buildings of UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath along the River Avon; if you're a literary type, take pride in a trip to the city's Jane Austen Centre to see its museum on the writer and have a sup in its Regency tearoom. Bradford-on-Avon, 10 miles away, also has Georgian houses as well as plenty of independent shops and a handsome riverside walk. Stonehenge and Longleat Safari Park are both 20 miles from the farm.
