Make a walk or cycle along the Kenntt avon channel of bath and if they reach bathampton, they can reward themselves with something from the cafe on the barge. a large selection of drinks, hot cold, beautiful cake or ice vegan options included. desfinitiw is worth the walk/bicycle.

Perfectly sized and delicious cakes! They offer benches and tables along the towpath for seating, and sell all sorts of treats, from ice cream and Diet Coke to lattes, cakes, and Marshfield ice cream. There's on-street parking nearby at the local primary school, plus some lovely walking paths along the towpath in either direction – towards Bath or the Dundas Aqueduct. (P.S. My partner devoured everything except for a bite of the cake before I could snap a photo, and trust me, the portions are definitely bigger than that!)
