Great Bedwyn

Travel Guide

Footpath crossing the tracks. A shortcut from the canal towpath past the church into the south end of the village. The buffer stop marks the end of the commuter line which runs between Bedwyn and London Paddington. Trains arriving at Bedwyn shunt onto this siding where they wait off the main line before heading back to London again.

Kennet & Avon Navigation: Beech Tree Walk Bridge 98 The lock behind the bridge is Lock No 63, Crofton Bottom Lock: sometimes it is given the same name as the bridge.
Paddington to the West Country railway, near Great Bedwyn Coming into view is a steam special train service from Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads. It is being hauled by a LNER Gresley Class A4 locomotive named 'Bittern' and numbered 60019. It is one minute ahead of schedule.
Bridge 99, Kennet and Avon Canal, near Crofton. This dilapidated and virtually useless bridge is said by some to be called 'New Bridge'. The Ordnance Survey don't agree saying that this one is New Bridge 1595422 It definitely has a small plaque with the number '99' affixed to it so that is what I shall call it. Bridge 99 is shown at difference places depending on which map one looks at. The OS 1:25K tallies with my GPS placing the bridge firmly in SU2663.
