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.

Monkton Combe School Cricket Pitch

Steep cycle path down past science labs then cut through grounds to lane that takes you past the most perfect cricket pitch I've ever seen. Lucky students!

Brassknocker Basin and Dundas Wharf

Highlight • Cafe

This large basin sits next to the incredible Dundas Aqueduct and often has moored canal boats present. The aqueduct links the Kennet and Avon Canal with the mostly dried Somerset Coal Canal, the latter of which now only has a short operational section that mainly involves the basin.

There's a cafe here as well as bike hire if you want to cycle further afield along the canals.

Dundas Aqueduct

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Winsley Hill

Highlight • Trail

Winsley Hill is a bit of a climb - three quarters of a mile at 9% - At the start it crosses the canal with it's towpath offering a less energetic profile.
