The Avoncliff Aqueduct is a historic aqueduct that carries the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon. It's considered one of the most impressive feats of engineering on the canal.The aqueduct was designed by the famous canal engineer John Rennie, and was completed in 1801. It's made of local limestone and is adjacent to the Avoncliff railway station, which adds to its charm and accessibility.

Like the nearby Dundas Aqueduct, Avoncliff was built by John Rennie to carry the Kennet and Avon Canal over the river Avon and opened in 1805. Nice place to stop when cycling along the canal.
