Lovely views to the River Avon across this historic bridge. Dating from the 13th or 14th C

Well worth a visit if you’re in Bath

Monkton Combe is a beautiful and charming village just south of Bath. It has a stunning Norman Church, St Michael’s Church, the obligatory public house, and an old-fashioned ‘village lockup,’ where they used to detain the less sober of the village inhabitants. What is most interesting is that the churchyard contains the grave of Harry Patch, the last surviving British soldier who fought in the First World War. It is well worth having a brief stop here.

A uniform, crescent-shaped front, many individual houses. Pure symmetry.

The tunnel lights were designed so you can see while not disturbing the bats. People using bright lights risk disturbing the bats and blinding other users. While you may feel using lights improves your ability to see and be seen they distract other users making it more difficult to see walkers, dogs etc.

The television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" shows the culture-loving viewer world heritage sites on every continent in quarter-hour segments (in German). The following text is used as an introduction on the website of the film documentary about the world cultural heritage site 'BATH': "In the middle of a gently rolling park landscape in the south of England lies the spa town of Bath. Bath became fashionable after a visit by Queen Anne, who stayed here in 1702 and thereby triggered a renaissance of the rather run-down spa town. The Pump Room was built directly above the old Roman bath. The hot mineral water was drunk here in the early hours of the morning to the sound of classical music." The film can be found in the ARD media library at the following link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/bath-grossbritannien-folge-15/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS83MjQ2MDAy

The tunnel lighting was upgraded in late 2023 and you can now easily see other riders, runners or pedestrians, so you do NOT need dazzling front lights any more. In the interests of safety and to avoid accidents PLEASE dim or dip your light when in the tunnel!

Don't forget to look to the east! There's an unobstructed view across to the Westbury White Horse in the distance 🐴

New lights in the tunnels as of 2023! Much better lit now in both tunnels.

Bridge here can become very congested with cars during peak hours. If visiting to appreciate the scenery, try to avoid busy periods for the best experience.

Fun descent and excellent climb the other way (less steep than most in the area). Be careful heading through Bathford with the 20 zone and parked cars.

Bath is a historic English city and boasts Roman origins dating to AD 60. It is known for its Roman Baths, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and stunning Georgian architecture, including the Royal Crescent and Bath Abbey. The city's natural hot springs and Georgian-era charm make it a captivating destination for visitors seeking both history and architectural beauty. If you've had a number of hard days riding perhaps it is worth thanking your body with a visit to the new Bath spa which still uses the mineral water famed for its health benefits.

Pulteney Bridge is a bridge over the River Avon in Bath, England. It was completed by 1774, and connected the city with the land of the Pulteney family which it wished to develop. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, it is highly unusual in that it has shops built across its full span on both sides.

Much quieter and faster service than nearby Lock Inn.

Very nice and photogenic bridge, reminds me of the bridges in Florence and Erfurt. Must See!

Brilliant bridge with small shops on it, similar to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. Only here in Bath are cars allowed to drive over it.

The café is a little way up Stony Street on the right but putting the highlight in exactly the right place means you can't route a road bike tour to the door without it saying that you have to push so the highlight is at the bottom of the street.

The town bridge was originally constructed in the 14th century, then widened in the 18th century. If you view the bridge from the downstream side the arches are rounded but view from the upstream side and you'll notice that the arches are pointed. The small building on the bridge is thought to have originally been a chapel but was converted into the town lock up in the 17th century.
