The Dundas Aqueduct is an impressive 18th-century structure built to carry the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon. Designed by John Rennie in 1797, it was completed in 1805. The aqueduct consists of three arches built using golden Bath Stone, spanning 19.5 meters (64 feet). The aqueduct is a Grade I listed building and, in 1951, became the first canal structure considered a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Dundas aqueduct is where the Avon and Kennet canal passes over the river Avon and railway line. It forms part of the Avon and Kennet canal path cycle route that is a shared path for cyclists, runners and walkers. At the Aqueduct as well as admiring the Aqueduct (it's a scheduled ancient monument!) you can watch the boats passing through or visit The Angel Fish cafe if you need a bite to eat and drink. There are also public toilets here just look out for the signs. If you intend to start your journey here then there is a pay and display car park, just don't arrive too late on a sunny weekend as it soon fills up.
If you need a dip to cool down or fancy a swim then aviod the canal and head down to the river Avon underneath the Aqueduct. The river can be assessed from a pontoon if you follow the footpaths to the East side of the river. Many people use this point for dipping, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and more! Just be mindful that the water can be deep and fast flowing at this point after heavy or prolonged rainfall.
