Very beautiful and pleasant

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

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.

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.

One of the most impressive structures on Britain's waterways, the Avoncliff Aqueduct at over 100 metres long and 18 metres wide, carries the Kennet & Avon Canal over the River Avon.

Have enjoyed walking this canal footpath in summer time and stopping off at the pub by the Weir. Look out for the wildlife along the way, especially the heron and kingfisher.

Brilliant! A beautiful and peaceful cycleway akin to the Bristol to Bath cycleway... but much quieter!

Same as above - there is a cafe, but attempt to use it at your own risk. They allowed us to buy a coffee, but promptly asked to move on immediately after. Coffee is mediocre anyway...

Take your own food and drink, don't rely on the cafe at Longleat if you’re just cycling through - we were asked to move on, as we weren’t paying guests...

Truly beautiful and in spring and summer the surface is fine. It's gravel so there are a few rougher spots, but to tell the truth, I've been on worse roads! Did this on a roadie with 28mm tyres... no problems whatsoever.

Like the nearby Dundas Aqueduct, Avoncliff was built by John Rennie to carry the Kennet and Avon Canal over the river Avon and opened in 1805. Nice place to stop when cycling along the canal.

Longleat house up close and personal is stunning.

There are two pieces of artwork I spotted on the two consecutive bridges with artwork of fingers pointing. Sustrans: "You will also find seven stacked boulders, reflecting the geological strata of the area and commemorating the pioneering work of the ‘Father of Geology’, William Smith, who mapped the rock types in the West of England in 1799, plotted the canal’s course and lived in a nearby cottage at Tucking Mill." - sustrans.org.uk/find-a-route-on-the-national-cycle-network/colliers-way
