This large basin sits next to the incredible Dundas Aqueduct and often has moored canal boats present. The aqueduct links the Kennet and Avon Canal with the mostly dried Somerset Coal Canal, the latter of which now only has a short operational section that mainly involves the basin.

There's a cafe here as well as bike hire if you want to cycle further afield along the canals.
