Cycling along the Kennet & Avon Canal
Cycling is permitted throughout the length of the canal, except for a short section near Froudes Bridge and Woolhampton. (The section through Woolhampton is now private property).
The Kennet & Avon Cycle Route combines towpath cycling with diversions via country lanes where the path is less suitable. Expertly waymarked by Sustrans, the cycle charity, you can find a full description with specially-compiled maps using the links below.
Please remember that the Kennet & Avon is a popular waterway for walkers and boaters, many of whom are travelling at speeds slower than you. Be prepared to slow down and dismount when necessary. Cycling on the Kennet & Avon is free and does not require a permit.
