KEYNSHAM is almost halfway between Bristol and Bath. There is a lively market every Friday and three good real ale pubs. One of these, The Old Bank, in the High Street is on our Rail Ale Trail.  

The Parish Church of St. John has an interesting Jacobean pulpit and a beautiful seventeenth century tower that offers good views over the surrounding countryside. The River Avon skirts round the edge of Keynsham and there are delightful riverside walks with country pubs and cafes.

Keynsham will remind older readers of Horace Batchelor and his Radio Luxembourg adverts for his patent method of winning the pools. If you are under 50 this will all be a mystery to you ! The town is famous for its chocolate factory, which gives the town its tantalising aroma. The factory was originally owned by the Frys but is now part of the Cadbury group.
