The charity making life better by water
Making life better by water
One of the most impressive structures on Britain's waterways, the Grade II listed Avoncliff Aqueduct, at over 100 metres long and 18 metres wide, carries the Kennet & Avon Canal over the River Avon.
Here you could visit the equally magnificent Dundas Aqueduct, or, if you walk the other direction, passing the Barton Farm Country Park, you could easily reach the bigger village of Bradford-upon-Avon.
Whilst enjoying a picnic, you'll see all the usual water birds, but look out for foxgloves and Red Clover, as well as deer and wandering badgers. At dusk, you may see the bats that live in the crevices of the aqueduct.
