Kennet and Avon Canal Towpath

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.

Compacted gravel path turning into a paved path the closer you get to Bath. Surface is variable, and can be bumpy and rocky. Be cautious of walkers and dogs. Relaxed traffic free route into or out of Bath.

Suspension a help on this sometimes bumpy but scenic, relaxed ride along the Avon Valley. Slow progress so chill and go with the flow and enjoy the boating life. Warley Weir on the way if you need a cool down. Wildlife abounds. Dont forget those bells on blind towpath bridges!
