Bridge No 163 on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Bridge No 165 on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

A narrow pack horse bridge over the river Avon between Trowbridge and Melksham. It's a beautiful old bridge and a useful crossing point allowing you to run loops without using the busy roads close by.

The Glove Factory is a modern complex of office and studio space in a lovely setting on the edge of Holt. There is a large car park so this can be a good start point for a run. The lakes are used by an outdoor swimming club based here and the Wild Herb field kitchen is also here. The cafe is a great place for a pre/post or mid run snack/meal/coffee. Cafe open Mon to Sat 10:00 - 16:00.

From Whaddon Lane, the byway (at the time of writing this) is first a bit rutty, then, after the new signs, is tarmacked over, making it a nice smooth ride. At the rugby club, you can turn onto the road or turn right onto a small section of the cycleway.

Lovely flat gravel track suitable for all bikes, ages and abilities.

peaceful place

When coming up from the canal, try going as fast as possible from the bottom to the top, since it's quite steep. You can also walk of course.
