    Tips

    Brandy Bottom Colliery is a former colliery in Pucklechurch, South Gloucestershire, England. It was a steam-powered colliery that operated from the early 19th century until the early 20th century. The colliery was located on the line of the Dramway, a horse-drawn railway that was used to transport coal from the Coalpit Heath area to Bristol.

    The earliest written record of Brandy Bottom Colliery dates from 1837, when a shaft was sunk at the site. The colliery was owned by a number of different companies over the years, including the East Bristol Collieries Company and the Avon Industrial Buildings Trust. The colliery closed in 1936 and has been derelict ever since.

    Brandy Bottom Colliery is a scheduled ancient monument and is a popular spot for historical walks and bike rides. The colliery is also home to a number of rare plants and animals, including the lesser horseshoe bat.

      An excellent section of bike path just off the Bath to Bristol. It is laid with tarmac and goes past the old colliery. Note that towards the end at the woods it can get quite muddy. This is especially so in Winter and especially if you take the fork on to the Dramway towards Westerleigh.
