Kennet and Avon Canal Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Avon and Kennet canal path between Bathampton and Monkton Combe is a pretty but busy section of the path. The surface of the path is very variable with mainly compacted gravel but some muddy and more rocky sections. There is a pub at the Bathampton end or a cafe with pay and display parking near Monkton Combe. There is also sometimes ice cream and drink vendors along the route.

Dundas Aqueduct

Highlight • Bridge

Dundas Aqueduct carries the Kennet & Avon canal over the river Avon and the railway. It was opened in 1805 and designed by famous architect John Rennie.
The tow path between Bradford on Avon and Bath runs along the south side. To the north you can also cross the aqueduct to access the trails up through the woods to Conkwell or north along the river.
There is often a boat that sells ice cream and cold drinks, or you can leave the canal and follow the signed trail to the Angel Fish cafe where there are toilets.
You can often fill water from the boaters tap by the building and crane at the far side of the marina.

Kennet and Avon Canal Towpath — Dundas Aqueduct to Avoncliff

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very beautiful section of the GB National Cycle Route 4 along the old canal that was used to transport coal to London. Very well developed on the old towpath. The highlight is the aqueduct at Dundas Wharf. Then of course on to Bath.

Kennet and Avon Canal Towpath

Highlight • River

The towpath is lined with a fascinating range of both big and small canal boats to take a look at whilst you cycle past. Take care whilst cycling along the towpath as you will share it with both walkers and cyclists.
