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.

Kennet and Avon Canal Towpath — Dundas Aqueduct to Avoncliff

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Running through leafy woodland and tranquil nature, the Kennet and Avon Canal links London with the Bristol Channel.

Today, you can cycle its length, enjoying the many locks, abundant wildlife and stunning scenery.

Bear in mind that the path can become muddy after rain and some sections may be busy during rush hour and the weekend.

Nice little cafe on the tow path. It's managed by the Canal and Rivers Trust so by eating here you put a little money back into the upkeep of the canal paths.
