fabulous

level 👌🏾

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

Ignore the concerning suggestion from Marco to 'arm yourself' if you commute on the path regularly - that's illegal. The path is safe to use and incidents are rare but not unheard of.

Wear clothes that cover your legs, parts are quite overgrown with nettles (May 2024)

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.

Bristol to Bath Cycle Path - We're so lucky to have this path in our City, however sadly, you must keep your eyes open and remain frosty at all times! Especially when returning to inner city Bristol, passing through Easton and Old Market. If you own an expensive ebike or bike, just be careful as the cycle path has a long history of violent robbery and thefts. It's best to ride in a group if you and your friends are serious cyclists with expensive kit, but if you have to ride on your own, perhaps you're a daily commuter, consider being armed 😉 Or just avoid that section entirely! But once you've escaped the city, it's such a beautiful place to ride one's bike and so quick to get out into the countryside.
