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.

Claverton Pumping Station

Highlight • Monument

This wonderful pumping station is over 200 years old and still in excellent condition thanks to considerable volunteer time. The station opened in 1812 to pump water from the River Avon to the neighbouring canal using a waterwheel to generate power.

The pumping station was recently adopted by the Claverton Pumping Station Group, a collection of local enthusiasts who lovingly restored the station in the 60s. Now, with the support of the Canal and River Trust, the group continue to maintain it and are hoping to make it operational once more.

You can visit the station on a pre-booked visit for a fee but even the exterior is well worth seeing.

Dundas Aqueduct

Highlight • Bridge

Dundas Aqueduct carries the Kennet & Avon canal over the river Avon and the railway. It was opened in 1805 and designed by famous architect John Rennie.
The tow path between Bradford on Avon and Bath runs along the south side. To the north you can also cross the aqueduct to access the trails up through the woods to Conkwell or north along the river.
There is often a boat that sells ice cream and cold drinks, or you can leave the canal and follow the signed trail to the Angel Fish cafe where there are toilets.
You can often fill water from the boaters tap by the building and crane at the far side of the marina.
