Cyclists on the canal path
There are several pleasant routes into Bath avoiding the city
traffic:
From the west:
The Bristol and Bath Railway Path forms part of the
"Sustrans" route 4. The path is
19kms long and mainly level, offering a very pleasant path for
cycling or walking between the two cities.
From the north:
You can avoid the traffic by joining the Kennet and Avon Canal
at Bathampton and then coming into the city along Great Pulteney
Street.
From the east and south:
The Colliers Way is a
23-mile long multi-user path between Frome and Bath via Midsomer
Norton and Radstock. Join Sustrans Route 4 at the Kennet and
Avon Canal at Dundas for the final 6kms into the city. The Kennet
and Avon Canal is also used by walkers, boaters and
anglers.
