Do you have any recommendations for places to stay in Bradford On Avon?
I've noticed this place as the train has stopped there when I have visited Bath and Bristol, it looks nice from the train.

Drove through there several times last week whilst visiting Bath. Very nice. Some crazy junctions though!

Second deepest lock on the British Canal system. Takes ages to fill.

Great little short break barge holiday from there.3 nights.
Slow trek towards Bath,one stop,then one good night out in bath then one night stop over on the way back,
only about 7 locks so it's quite easy.
Done the same trip twice,once in the snow,once in the summer,great weekends.

Love it there. Many happy memories of time spent there with my grandparents who lived in Trowbridge.

Still digesting the one i had last night at the bear,stayed just past the bear and made the mistake of not ordering the junior pie

Live a few miles away and agree it is a lovely small town. Suggest walking or cycling along the canal towards Bath if you are in area. The route is part of National Route 4 from London to Fishguard.

Treated my wife to a weekend at the Royal Cresent Hotel for her 40th birthday, they look after you very well.
Also a visit to the Peto gardens outside Bradford upon Avon is worth a visit, especially their very large cream teas

Scene of one of the most random moments of my Albion following career,

Many years ago we played Bristol City away. The pre match was eventful enough, finding a pub called the Crystal Palace in Bath (later trashed) and being welcomed outside Ashton Gate by some Brizzle fans with their doggies, but the after game (a game I think we lost) took on a whole new dimension of weird.

For some reason we decided to stop on the train at a request stop in the middle of nowhere because we could see a pub, Unfortunately it was a posh country pub next to the canal that we were turfed out of after five minutes for throwing apples in to the water and disturbing the fish and therefore fishermen. We quickly realised there were no more trains that night from that station and set off along the canal bank in search of, well, something. What we found in the end was Bradford On Avon and a group of lads who were looking for a gang from Bath they were due to fight. They were none to pleased to see a group of pissed up football fans turn up instead but also didn't fancy their chances. None of us looked particularly hard (because we weren't) but there were more of us and we were much drunker. This stand off / guided tour ended when we suddenly saw the station and realised we could get a direct train back to Portsmouth, and there to Brighton, if we legged it. We made it by a minute.

Must have got off at Avoncliff? The crystal palace bar is still in bath.

That sounds right yes. Was reliving this episode on Fb the other day with one of the lads who was there who I now know through local youth football.
