Maxs Cafe & TruckstopA very deep lock
At the time of writing (Sept '10) there are about 4 boats moored between Padworth Swing Bridge and Towney Lock.
It is a nice tranquil area, with a big field for dogs to run in, there are trees both sides, so getting a sat signal can be a challenge and solar is limited.
There is a walk through from Towney lock to the A4 - take care crossing the railway - which comes out next to the comfort inn.
If you have a car, and ask nicely, they may let you use the car park if they are not too busy.

Wikipedia has a page about Towney Lock
Towney Lock is a lock on the Kennet and Avon Canal, between Aldermaston Wharf and Sulhamstead, Berkshire, England.
Towney Lock was built between 1718 and 1723 under the supervision of the engineer John Hore of Newbury. The canal is administered by the Canal & River Trust. The lock has a rise/fall of 9 ft 8 in (2.95 m).
The lock was deepened during restoration work in the 1970s when Ufton Lock was removed.
