Meandering 11 miles (22km) through beautiful Somerset countryside, the Grand West Country Canal is a lovely place to cycle. Here, you will find cafes, public toilets, picnic areas, and you may even spot a horse drawn barge, which have been running along the canal for over 200 years. Many of the historical buildings along the canal have been well-preserved.
