Very beautiful and pleasant

the point at which the Kennet and Avon canal crossed the river and railway line via the Aqueduct built by John Rennie & John Thomas between 1797 and 1801. Good pub here which will reopen summer 2025. This is on the main railway line now becoming a regular (request?) stop since 2011

Amazing for autumn colours

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.

I rode along the canal in autumn, the colours were amazing and the tow path was quiet.

Absolutely lovely, relatively flat throughout and is generally pretty quiet. Some areas have a few bumps thanks to roots and some parts during the wetter winter weather get a couple of centimetres of running water here and there. Overall one of my favourite places to cycle and will continue to feature on my routes!

Avoncliff Aqueduct carries the Kennet and Avon Canal over both the River Avon and railway above Avoncliff station. The impressive Grade II-listed structure affords stunning views along the Avon Valley. It was built by architect John Rennie and chief engineer John Thomas between 1797 and 1801.

Very quiet cycling in a miniature valley. The narrow 'tow' paths do not allow side-by-side or fast driving. Walkers with or without a dog, runners, small boat residents who get on and off their craft, you will certainly meet them. Moderate speed is a must. After a downpour you will undoubtedly find numerous puddles and rather muddy passages. Watch out is all the more important. If you pass under a bridge, keep in mind that you cannot pass with two, giving a ringing signal can prevent a lot of misery. Let yourself be enchanted by nature, look around you and enjoy. You can relax in abundance here.
