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

In the valley below Great Elm, a charming bridge crosses the Mells River, with a bench on the riverbank offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the views or take a refreshing dip. A layby on one side of the river provides convenient parking if you'd like to start your journey here.

I did this ride yesterday. It was deliciously cool on a hot day, and condensation drips do fall from the ceiling, but no problem for us. Both tunnels were lit tho pedestrians were tricky to spot and a bell was useful. We enjoyed the soundscape. I was pleased to have a light so I was visible to those cycling the other way. We encountered a group with a wheelchair user and it was tricky to spot her for those with no lights. A great place to bring kids for an adventure.

Passable on my laden touring bike with 32mm tyres, but only just...definetly not suitable for a racing bike!

I would second the first comment. Change of ownership makes this cafe a fantastic mid-ride stop option. Friendly owners and good food / drink at reasonable prices.

Perfect place for a mid ride treat!

The longest cycling and walking tunnel in the UK - 1,672 metres long to be precise! The Two Tunnels path is very wide and smooth so it’s perfect for small children who are not very confident yet, or for little ones on balance bikes. It is nearly flat as well, so great for smaller legs or kids who are learning to ride a bike. Don’t forget to take lights with you because the tunnels have some lighting, but a front and rear light are advised. Also remember that the tunnel might be cold on a hot summer day.The tunnels feature lights and music!

They've repaved most of this with lovely tarmac meaning the hills aren't quite so tough with a full touring rig

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

Great view and nice contact with the boat people.

Opened in 1918 the signal box controlled the level crossing here. The railways closed between 1966 and 1968 but a local chap rented the box and thus stopped it being destroyed. It's now a grade 2 listed building and was restored by the council. Today the friends of the area look after the box, cafe and community garden.

Dundas Aqueduct carries the Kennet & Avon canal over the river Avon and the railway. It was opened in 1805 and designed by famous architect John Rennie. The tow path between Bradford on Avon and Bath runs along the south side. To the north you can also cross the aqueduct to access the trails up through the woods to Conkwell or north along the river. There is often a boat that sells ice cream and cold drinks, or you can leave the canal and follow the signed trail to the Angel Fish cafe where there are toilets. You can often fill water from the boaters tap by the building and crane at the far side of the marina.

Section of the Bristol and Bath Cycle Path running alongside the Avon Valley Railway, a 3 mile (5km) long heritage steam line.

Traffic-free cycling and walking path on the old track bed of the Somerset & Dorset Railway.

A nice section of the Colliers Way Cycle Route. It runs alongside Wellow Brook and passes Stoney Littleton long barrow.

The last of the pits in the North Somerset Coalfield closed in 1973. The former Kilmersdon Pit Wheel is a memorial to the miners who worked them.

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!
