Kennet and Avon Canal Towpath

Highlight • River

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.

Dundas Aqueduct

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Bath Bottom Lock

Highlight • Structure

The Kennet & Avon Canal is one of our most well-loved waterways. The 87 mile long canal links London with the Bristol Channel, and passes through some spectacular landscapes including West Berkshire and the rolling Cotswolds. But this haven in southern England faced closure in the last century and was only brought back to life thanks to the tireless dedication of volunteers.

Bath Top Lock, Kennet and Avon Canal

Highlight • Structure

There are a total of 104 locks on the 87-mile (140-km) length of the Kennet and Avon canal, and this one here is called Top Lock and is the last lock out of Bath. Nearby is also Top Lock Cottage, which was the cottage lived in by the lock-keeper. In bygone ages, the lock-keeper used to trade goods with boaters. It's a beautiful area with good footpaths and crossing points across the canal.
