July 5, 2024,From Bath Marina & Caravan Park to Bath and North East Somerset

A nice gentle scenic ride along a canal path and old railway. Taking in the Royal Cresent in Bath, an excellent coffee in central Bath, a canal viaduct and the longest cycling and walking tunnel in the UK, Combe Down tunnel and a great lunch stop.
