The central section running along the reed-fringed Kennet and Avon Canal is a delight. A route with about half on pavements alongside urban and suburban roads (some quiet) and a delightful central section along the reed-fringed Kennet and Avon Canal towpath, sheltered by a hedge with views over the fields. The towpath is gravelly, stony and sometimes narrow and uneven, with a few short and potentially slippery slopes at bridges. Extends the canal towpath to Semington to be more wheelchair/pushchair friendly. A mostly off-road paved cycle track by the railway runs from the canal to Trowbridge station.
Time: 2h30–5h
Warnings: A fifth urban.
