Beautiful church with a long history St James’ Church is on the foundation of an earlier building; the west tower is from the early 14th century. The chancel, nave, north aisle and south chapel were rebuilt in 1823 and the vestry and arcade in 1882.

The pub is now closed 😢

Although the parish church of St Peter at Monkton Farleigh was largely rebuilt in the 19th century, it retains some features of the 12th century -the tower and the north door. This early building was possibly connected to the foundation of the Cluniac Priory in the same village in about 1120-30. Today it has an aisleless nave and chancel in 13th century style, built of local limestone, under a considerable quantity of stone tiles on the roof. Despite being so close to the source of some of the best building stone in the country, the whole church, apart from some dressings, is made of rubble stone. It is listed, Grade II* for the old parts. Monkton Farleigh church tower The west tower is 12th century Norman romanesque with twin round-headed windows with roll mouldings on each face of the bell chamber. Short buttresses at the base, the parapet and saddleback roof were added later. The tall arch into the nave is from a Victorian “restoration”. The other medieval survival is the porch on the north side of the nave, which protects a typical Norman round-arched doorway with chevron decoration into which a Tudor doorway had been inserted and retains its wooden door of that time.

Clock Tower 1887 in commemoration of Victoria Golden Jubilee and also war memorial. Rock faced limestone with Ashlee dressings, stone slate gabled roof.The clock still chimes today.

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

It was extremely flooded when I went, but of course this doesn't happen all year!! Make sure to check out the tithe barn, and the absolutely stunning Saxon church!

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.

Great views and interesting quarry area

This large basin sits next to the incredible Dundas Aqueduct and often has moored canal boats present. The aqueduct links the Kennet and Avon Canal with the mostly dried Somerset Coal Canal, the latter of which now only has a short operational section that mainly involves the basin. There's a cafe here as well as bike hire if you want to cycle further afield along the canals.
