Kennet and Avon Canal Trust

The Kennet and Avon Canal Trust is an English registered charity and waterway society, concerned with the protection and maintenance of the Kennet and Avon Canal throughout Wiltshire and Berkshire.

In 1951, the Kennet and Avon Canal Association was formed with the goal of restoring the derelict Kennet and Avon Canal. In 1962 the organisation became a charitable trust. After a campaign raising over £2million, the canal was fully restored and reopened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990. In 2013, the trust was presented with the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.

The trust operates the Kennet and Avon Canal Museum in a canalside building in Devizes.
