Two Tunnels Greenway

Highlight • Structure

Fantastic bike path going through the famous two tunnels. The longest bike path tunnel in the UK. Although it is lit the lighting is poor so lights are highly recommended to avoid collisions. Great spot for some on ride karaoke if you love the sound of your own voice (echos).

Monkton Combe village

Highlight • Religious Site

Monkton Combe is a beautiful and charming village just south of Bath. It has a stunning Norman Church, St Michael’s Church, the obligatory public house, and an old-fashioned ‘village lockup,’ where they used to detain the less sober of the village inhabitants. What is most interesting is that the churchyard contains the grave of Harry Patch, the last surviving British soldier who fought in the First World War. It is well worth having a brief stop here.

The Dundas Aqueduct is an impressive 18th-century structure built to carry the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon. Designed by John Rennie in 1797, it was completed in 1805. The aqueduct consists of three arches built using golden Bath Stone, spanning 19.5 meters (64 feet). The aqueduct is a Grade I listed building and, in 1951, became the first canal structure considered a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Kennet and Avon Canal Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Avon and Kennet canal path between Bathampton and Monkton Combe is a pretty but busy section of the path. The surface of the path is very variable with mainly compacted gravel but some muddy and more rocky sections. There is a pub at the Bathampton end or a cafe with pay and display parking near Monkton Combe. There is also sometimes ice cream and drink vendors along the route.
