Bruce Tunnel is the Kennet and Avon Canal's one and only Tunnel. The Eastern Portal of Bruce Tunnel is situated just 2 mins walk, turn left out of the drive, over the railway, either go left or right onto the tow path. It was opened in 1809 and is 502 yards in length. Named after the 1st Earl of Ailesbury (modern name is Aylesbury) Thomas Brudenell-Bruce, it was constructed as the Earl refused to permit a deep cut to be made for the canal through his land. A feature of the tunnel was it's width (barges were far wider than today's narrowboats) and that as there is no towpath inside the tunnel a chain ran the length of the tunnel which boatmen used to haul themselves through. The Kennet and Avon towpath goes under the present railway lines and then up steps to soon reach a narrow road - cross straight over and pass several houses before descending back to the towpath by the tunnel's west portal.
