Very beautiful and pleasant

Steep Steps down to the river and for view of the aqueduct are on the Bradford on Avon side.

Great stretch of road, I know I am nearly at Bristol, or just getting started. Either way I cannot help but stop and enjoy the view, just stunning.

Don't let anyone stop you from swimming!

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

Wellow Ford. Goes without saying this can flood and become impassable for bikes.

Discover this pretty little ford in the picturesque village of Wellow located in the southern tip of the Cotswolds. After a spell of heavy rain, the water may be too high to cross, so you'll have to take the neighbouring bridge to complete your loop.

Beautiful scenery and smooth enough road surface

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.
