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

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.

This bridleway is part of the Cotswolds Way and regularly used by walkers, bikers and bikers. Riding up is only fun in the dry, it's quite slippy during the winter months! Descending is fun any time. The views are stunning, it's not one to rush.

Perfect place for a mid ride treat!

Brilliant route for kids on bikes- they love riding though tunnels!

Good cycling route but watch out for walker and other young cyclist 😊

Great little run. Single track to start and opens up wider at the end. Finishes with a ford.... Muddy!

Pretty firm in summer, drains well in the spring/autumn. Can be a bit of a mudbath in winter. I've done it on a road bike many times but I would recommend 30mm tyres and above.

The Pill cycling path is a great way to explore the city of Bristol and its surroundings. The path is well-maintained and mostly flat, making it a perfect option for cyclists of all levels. The path runs along the River Avon, providing stunning views of the city and the surrounding countryside. Along the way, you'll pass by a variety of interesting sights, including the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Leigh Woods, and the village of Pill. If you're looking for a challenging ride, you can start at the Ashton Gate stadium and cycle all the way to Portishead. This route is about 15 miles (24 km) long and takes around 3 hours to complete. If you're looking for a shorter ride, you can start at the Create Centre and cycle to Pill. This route is about 5 miles long and takes around an hour to complete. No matter how long or short your ride, you're sure to enjoy the scenery and the fresh air on the Pill cycling path.

The gravel is a bit soft for road tyres but 32 up and you're fine.

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.
