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

Amazing for autumn colours

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The towpath is lined with a fascinating range of both big and small canal boats to take a look at whilst you cycle past. Take care whilst cycling along the towpath as you will share it with both walkers and cyclists.

Beautiful old Aqueduct, worth a stop to look over the edge

The spare ribs are excellent!
