FRESHFORD 

This lovely village seems almost untouched by time.The waters of its "fresh ford" combined with purity of its air led wealthy Bath residents in the nineteenth century to send their laundry to be done in the village (by rail, of course).
From the station go up the hill, and turn right to explore the village, or left to reach the historic Inn at Freshford - one of the great pubs on our Rail Ale Trail. 

Further afield there are footpaths and cycle routes to help you explore the wooded valley of the River Avon and the Kennet and Avon canal. There's also a route to Barton Farm Country Park on the south side of the river.
