This gravel path takes you alongside the Kennet and Avon Canal through spellbinding Wiltshire countryside. You can observe lots of wildlife along the way and can admire all manner of narrowboats and barges docked along the banks. The path is quite narrow in places, making passing cyclists a little tricky, and can be fairly rough at times. As it's a popular shared trail, watch out for hikers.

Partly in very bad shape. Sharp stones and gravel. Be careful with your tires.

A little rough and bumpy at the Bradford-on-Avon end, but nothing too bad and certainly worth it for the stunning scenery.
