DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis guidebook to walking along the Kennet & Avon Canal covers the 94 mile (152km) route from Reading to Bristol. The canal walk is split into 7 stages of fairly easy, level walking, of between 9.5 and 18.5 miles, with advice on splitting or shortening the stages if needed. The book also includes 20 easy circular walks, ranging from 4.25to 9 miles, taking in the best sections of the canal and visiting sites nearby, making this two guidebooks in one. Alongside OS map extracts and detailed route descriptions, there are plenty of details on the history, heritage and wildlife encountered along the way. An itinerary planner is included for walkers who want to create longer or shorter stages, and there is useful practical information including details on accessing the walks by public transport and a list of accommodation available along the route. The result is a highly useful and fascinating companion to exploring the canal and its surroundings. In the early 1800s the Kennet and Avon Canal provided an important direct trade route between London and Bristol. Today the waterway weaves its way through the rolling chalk contours of the North Wessex Downs to the southern edge of the Cotswolds, passing vibrant towns and cities as well as picture-postcard villages with thatched cottages, ancient churches and cosy pubs. Fascinating features - such as Crofton Pumping Station and Beam Engines, the impressive Caen Hill flight of locks at Devizes, the aqueducts at Avoncliff and Dundas, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Georgian Bath and Bristol's vibrant Floating Harbour - are explored as the canal makes its journey across southern England.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRichard Long is one of the leading protagonists of Land Art. He uses the movement of his own body, hiking and walking through the landscape as a criterion and medium for his art. He has been creating outside works for more than 40 years all over the world, In England, Canada, Japan or Bolivia: large stone circles or lines made of wood. Photographs document these transient works. But right from the beginning the artist has also designed works For The museum space. Here as well, sculptures are created with archetypical forms, made of wood or stone: ellipses, lines or circles. The centre and inspiration for this exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof is the eponymous work Berlin Circle. The circle of stone, twelve metres in diametre, laid out on the floor is an important work in the Sammlung Marx and was first unveiled and installed by the artist For The opening of the Hamburger Bahnhof in 1996.'My art is in the nature of things', Long says, referring To The actuality of his works, which as consequent settings of locations on which the nature of things appears in the work, also illustrate questions of the contemporary discourse concerning relationality, performativity, crossing borders And The spatiality of art. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Richard Long: Berlin Circle at Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum f r Gegenwart, Berlin, 26 March - 31 July 2011.
