Very beautiful section of the GB National Cycle Route 4 along the old canal that was used to transport coal to London. Very well developed on the old towpath. The highlight is the aqueduct at Dundas Wharf. Then of course on to Bath.

Running through leafy woodland and tranquil nature, the Kennet and Avon Canal links London with the Bristol Channel. Spanning 87 miles (140 km), the canal was once a vital trade artery in the 18th century to traffic goods across the country. 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.

Truly beautiful and in spring and summer the surface is fine. It's gravel so there are a few rougher spots, but to tell the truth, I've been on worse roads! Did this on a roadie with 28mm tyres... no problems whatsoever.
