The theme for this weeks Quest is The Kennet and Avon Canal. This 87 mile long jewel in West Berkshire's crown runs from Reading to Bristol & has a history that stretches 300 years. At either end of those 300 years are two West Berkshire residents who were vital to the success of the canal.

We'll be looking at the earliest written mention of West Berkshire where Speen (Spenae) gets a mention in 150AD during the reign of Roman Emperor Antoninus. This jewel in West Berkshires crown was noted as being a small settlement and crossing point for the River Lambourn. Speen (Spinis/Spenae) is derived from the Latin meaning "thorney place". The route will go near the crossing of the River Lambourn on the Oxford road.
