Fantastically beautiful views all around

Update April 2025 - the craters have now been filled in with hard pack gravel. Very much rideable on a road bike of any tyre size without needing to be too concerned about punctures.

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

This is an interesting location around the Old Mangotsfield Station. There are two big walls adjacent to each other that are free standing, these look like listed buildings. The cycleway around this area is good

Amazing for autumn colours

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.

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.

Wear clothes that cover your legs, parts are quite overgrown with nettles (May 2024)

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!

Gorgeous little lane with a nice little ice cream / drink hut along the way. Thankfully it's been beautifully resurfaced. Best done in the direction heading towards Wellow (uphill) as downhill it's too tight and twisty to enjoy properly due to blind bends.

After Midford this quickly becomes hard packed gravel. Safe and relatively comfortable to ride on any road bike. Several gates to pass through, watch out for craters on the path.

It is doable on any road bike (including 25mm tyres) as long as you choose your lines well. I've ridden it multiple times without punctures and no stone chips either (18mph or so). Surface has gotten more and more cratered over the years but is well compacted (not chattery) and safe to ride. Several gates to pass through along the way.

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

Brilliant route for kids on bikes- they love riding though tunnels!

Great canal path for family cycling!

Kelston Roundhill affords spellbinding views over Bath, Bristol and Somerset. In clear conditions, you can see both Severn bridges, across to Wales and the Black Mountains, the Wiltshire Downs in the east and the Mendip Hills in the south. The countryside in this neck of the woods is magnificent; a picturesque and quintessentially-English patchwork. A superb section of the Cotswold Way runs over the hill, too.
