Great flat tarmac route that joins Bristol and Bath

Absolute cracker! Wide, potentially muddy, double track leading to narrow but glorious single track through to Hen Lane.

Steep Steps down to the river and for view of the aqueduct are on the Bradford on Avon side.

Now actually added to OpenStreetMap and hence Komoot. Lovely cut-through when it's dry, probably muddy when wet.

Lovely but horrible road surface

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

From Bath to here on a road bike with 25mm is doable but take it easy, further on, its a little rougher and 35mm would be better. here is a good stop of lunch or a drink

WELL! When I walked here, it was (genuinely) the muddiest hike I had ever been on! So, if you're planning to go & it's been raining a lot recently, be prepared for actual flooded fields! It is a really stunning place, so it is worth it, and usually, of course, it won't be flooded! But because it is low-laying, rainwater does accumulate in the fields around, just something to bear in mind if it is/has been very wet.
