The Best Cycling Routes in Bath, England and Bradford-on-Avon, England

We took a bicycle ride from Bradford on Avon, England to Bath, England. Returning on the Greenway Tunnels route. (2 abandoned Railroad Tunnels). Don't mind the cheesy intro!!
Cycling route between Bath and Newbury on the Kennet and Avon Canal. - The route follows the canal tow path, allowing cyclists to leisurely explore the countryside, and includes quiet country lanes which can be followed. If you're looking for a comprehensive guide to the Avon Cycle Route, I recommend reading 'My Bikes' which covers everything from route planning to safety tips. The route between Bath and Newbury visits various villages and hamlets along the way, such as Bradford-on-Avon and Pewsey. At certain points, it diverts away from the canal towpath and allows you to visit other villages or take a detour into quiet country lanes. At Newbury, cyclists can either leave the towpath or continue their journey along the canal towards Reading. All in all, this cycle route is an excellent way to explore the countryside between Bath and Newbury in a leisurely manner!
The route starts by turning onto the canal towpath from Beckford Road and you'll be lined with a variety of trees and shrubs as you travel. You'll soon meet with the Bathwick area, where there are fishing lakes and footpaths to explore. After crossing over the railway line, the route picks up again near junction 14 of the M4 motorway. From here it's a very pleasant walk alongside permanently moored houseboats for a total of 1 km until you reach Thatcham railway station. From here, you can continue along the canal towpath until you reach Newbury station and cross back over the railway line!
The Kennet and Avon Canal follows the River Avon from near Bath to the River Thames at Reading. Along the way, you'll pass through some of the most beautiful sections of the Berkshire countryside; from Kintbury to Newbury and Hungerford, there are plenty of bridges, aqueducts and tunnels to explore. One of the highlights is the magnificent Crofton Pumping Station - a great place to take a break and discover more about canal history. The towpath has been recently upgraded in parts, so it's much easier to take a bike ride along it now! From Newbury station you can follow the towpath in either direction - south towards Hungerford or eastwards towards Reading. Along this stretch you can find some wonderful aqueducts and tunnels as well as plenty of countryside views. You'll also pass through several towns and villages including Woolhampton, Aldermaston Wharf and Kintbury before finally reaching your destination at Reading on the River Thames. Whether you take a leisurely bike ride or an adventurous walk along this route, it's sure to be an enjoyable experience!
Cycling the Avon Kennet is a 87 mile cycle route that runs through some of England's most beautiful countryside.
