Brandy Bottom Colliery, located just off the Bath-Bristol cycle path, was an important coal mining site in the 19th century, particularly known for its deep mine workings. The site features remnants of the colliery, including old structures and spoil heaps.

It operated during a time of significant coal production in the area before eventually closing.

Today, it serves as a historical point of interest along the cycling route, illustrating the region's industrial heritage
