Bradford On Avon to Avoncliff Walk
This walk follows a section of the Kennet and Avon Canal Walk to Avoncliff where you can enjoy views of the Avoncliff Aqueduct.
The route runs for a distance of 2.6 miles following the canal towpath west from the town. On the way you can enjoy some fine views over the waters to the surrounding countryside. From the top of the viaduct there are also excellent views over the village.
The aqueduct is a peaceful spot for observing canal boats, local wildlife, and the scenic valley below. Nearby, Avoncliff railway station provides easy access for visitors, and the Cross Guns pub beside the canal offers a popular place to rest and take in the view. The surrounding area is rich in walking and cycling opportunities, including trails along the canal and through the wooded Avon valley.

Bradford-on-Avon : Kennet & Avon Canal
View from Avoncliff Aqueduct The white building on the left, partially hidden by trees, is The Cross Guns pub as it appeared in 2003. The cladding was stripped off the following year to reveal the Cotswold stone underneath. The pathway in the foreground passes under the aqueduct.
The Aqueduct is a striking piece of 19th-century engineering that carries the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon near the village of Avoncliff in Wiltshire. Built by renowned canal engineer John Rennie and completed in 1805, the aqueduct features three graceful arches constructed from Bath stone, blending beautifully with the surrounding countryside. It remains in active use today, carrying boats, walkers, and cyclists along the canal as part of National Cycle Route 4 and the popular towpath walk between Bradford-on-Avon and Bath.
