チェルウッドでののおすすめグラベルライド

Great place to eat or relax after a walk. Pleasant gardens and a very nice bar and restaurant.

Great flat tarmac route that joins Bristol and Bath

This bridleway is quite rocky near the top, but not for too long, so I'd persevere through it

Update April 2025 - the craters have now been filled in with hard pack gravel. Very much rideable on a road bike of any tyre size without needing to be too concerned about punctures.

This railway tunnel is quite long. There are roof lights in the tunnel and it is easy to see where you are. Some water does drip down from the roof but it is easy to pick a dry ride line and pass through the tunnel. People are also walking through the tunnel as well as cyclists

This is a brilliant sculpture to look at, large in size located along the main cycleway. As you approach the sculpture it is not clear what it actually is. You have to stop to work out what it is, especially if you are not from the local area

This is an interesting location around the Old Mangotsfield Station. There are two big walls adjacent to each other that are free standing, these look like listed buildings. The cycleway around this area is good

Monkton Combe is a beautiful and charming village just south of Bath. It has a stunning Norman Church, St Michael’s Church, the obligatory public house, and an old-fashioned ‘village lockup,’ where they used to detain the less sober of the village inhabitants. What is most interesting is that the churchyard contains the grave of Harry Patch, the last surviving British soldier who fought in the First World War. It is well worth having a brief stop here.
