Semington to Bradford upon Avon via towpath

Share This Post

This ramble starts at Semington to the outskirts of Bradford upon Avon along the Kennet & Avon Canal.

Location : Semington

Starting point : Bridge north of the village

OS Grid Reference : ST900612

Distance : 9.1 miles

Route Surface : Mainly gravel, with a few stoney sections

Category : Level 2

On paper this looks like a nice easy route, on a towpath that is also a national cycle route. The towpath is very narrow in places, making it difficult to pass other users. The grass between the gravel and the hedge, is at such a slope it is difficult to pass cyclists with our Trampers.

Steep approach to the bridge over the entrance to a marina.

I have graded it a Level 2 partly on distance, but also on the quality of the path in places.
