BA2 7FG and 53 works for some but many others end up in Limpley Stoke village and need to get to the B3108 junction (as the road goes under the rail bridge) and follow instructions from Bath

For Walkers along the Kennet and Avon canal

Between the Limpley Stoke bridge (B3108) and Avoncliff aqueduct there is only one bridge crossing the canal known as Winsley Bridge or "Elbow Cottage" bridge - by a former canal-side inn.
