This map also features detailed inset maps for the major towns and cities, tourist info and cycle shop and hire information, and other local routes.

About the Bristol to London route on the NCN

This ride takes its name from Brunel’s famous railway connecting the capital with the West Country. National Route 4 forms an unbroken link between the cities of London and Bristol. Despite its length, the route is almost entirely flat, following canals, rivers and vales. 

The Bristol to London ride initially follows the Bristol & Bath Railway Path, which was the first section of traffic-free shared-use path ever built by Sustrans. From Bath, Route 4 uses the towpath of the Kennet & Avon Canal as far as Devizes. 

After Devizes in the heart of Wiltshire, you leave the canal and follow quiet lanes through numerous villages in the Vale of Pewsey to the outskirts of Newbury. From there you follow the course of the River Kennet to Reading where it joins the Thames. Then it’s the Thames Valley Cycle Route to central London and Brunel Museum.
