A walk from Trowbridge to Bradford-on-Avon [27]
Seen from the parapet of Ladydown Aqueduct is the Wessex Main Line railway. In the distance, the single line branch to Chippenham and Swindon goes straight ahead, with the line to Bath curves to the left. The aqueduct is listed but impossible to photograph. Built in the mid 19th century of concrete and yellow brick. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1021620
The walk starts at Trowbridge railway station and initially follows both the railway line and the River Bliss northwards. The river and the railway both pass under the Kennet and Avon Canal and the canal towpath is taken heading west towards Bradford-on-Avon. Leaving the canal, a short walk through streets leads to the railway station for a train back to the starting point at Trowbridge. Just under 3¾ miles.
