Avoncliff is a village in Wiltshire.

It is the point at which the Kennet and Avon canal crosses the river and railway line via the Avoncliff Aqueduct, and there is a picturesque weir. This is a popular starting point for walks along both the canal and the river, and also to Barton Farm Country Park.

Rail Link

Avoncliff has a tiny railway station, boasting just a one-carriage-length platform in each direction, at which the trains must be requested to stop. Services are hourly, run by First Great Western, and generally continue on to Portsmouth, or Bristol Temple Meads and Cardiff.
