Managed to shoe-horn a canal fix on a weekend in Dorset and Wiltshire.
Bath is a very old and attractive city and we had a very pleasant afternoon walking around it.
The navigable Avon is blocked off at the town centre weir, but, there is a shallow draft trip boat that operates on the other side of the weir.
Downstream the Avon is navigable to Bristol or there is a junction with the Kennet and Avon canal which has some very challenging locks and flights.

We also had an hour in Bradford on Avon which is not as pretty as I imagined.
