Follow the river path through Conham River Park along the Avon from near Trooper's Hill all the way to the two pubs (the Chequers and Old Lock and Weir Inn) for the easiest ride.

There are a few parallel lines higher up through the woodland that are more technical; you'll need a gravel or mountain bike for those.

All the trails become very wet and muddy in the winter. Delve a little deeper and you'll find some incredible stone cliffs.

Look out for the (nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah) Bat Cave!

Great trail that has spellbinding beauty around every corner. The area is home to lots of wildlife; herons can regularly be observed, bats can be seen at dusk, water vowels, plus lots more. It really is a slice of paradise right on the edge of the city. Only problem is it can get very crowded on weekends etc and the path is narrow in places. For cycling, much better off peak times.

The river path is a pretty good surface, head up into the woods for forest trails. It can get muddy and there are some dowhill jumps!
