Bath Spa to Bradford-on-Avon
A station-to-station walkSomersetSouth West England
A very beautiful walk full of lush foliage and native flowering plants. Almost entirely along the Kennet & Avon Canal towpath, flat and easy to follow and full of lush foliage and flowering plants. A stone-paved descent to the canal at the Bath end needs caution in the wet; the towpath gets a bit muddy after heavy rain but the underlying surface is stable. Around 30 benches en route.
Waterway: nine tenths along the Kennet and Avon Canal.
Bathampton Meadows: Green corridor linking the historic city of Bath to the countryside (National Trust).
Bath Skyline: Wide open space overlooking the World Heritage City of Bath (National Trust).
Lunch: A cafe at Brassknocker Basin, plus opportunities for food, drink and restrooms every few miles, with pubs in the first and last thirds.
