The spectacular Dundas Aqueduct is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Named after Charles Dundas, the first chairman of the Kennet and Avon Canal Company, the aqueduct forms the junction between the Kennet and Avon Canal and the largely derelict Somerset Coal Canal. The short stretch of the Somerset Coal Canal still in water forms Brassknocker Basin, used for boat moorings, cycle hire and a cafe.
4.7 miles by road from Bradford on Avon (10 mins drive)
Walking cross country from Bradford on Avon takes approximately 1 – 1.5 hours taking various routes, all beautiful.
You can also take the bus to Bath which drops off nearby or of course go there by canal boat!
Pop into the Tourist Information Office in Westbury Garden where they will be happy to give routes, advice and maps.
