オールドランドの峡谷・トップ2

Entering from North Stoke keep your eyes peeled for a green bridle way sign which is easy to miss. It quickly gets steep and rocky with running water even during warmer summer spells, Strava segment is called PIPLEY BOTTOM ROCKY HORROR which is a fair description. Very technical descent and breaking on loose rocks is sketchy. I was on xc hardtail but defo hike a bike on a gravel rig. The ascent following is another hike a bike rooty and muddy. Worth a try to test out your technical skills on the down and the up.

Fantastic views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge from the river path.

Flat gravel path which is perfect for running away from the cars

Compact gravel all the way

Popular with walkers, cyclists and runners, the Pill Path follows the Avon from the city out to the village of Pill, near where the river empties into the Severn Estuary. The running is great fun on a gently undulating trail. There are superb views of Clifton Suspension Bridge and the cliffs of the Avon Gorge.

Maybe a really good mountain biker could do it but not rideable on a gravel bike.

The river Avon trail connects Bristol and Pill and is a lovely alternative to the road cycleway. It can get a bit busy on weekends during the afternoons

A good cycle path for all but the skinniest of wheels and the right line has to be chosen in places. It's compacted gravel and dirt, so could get a bit boggy during or after wet weather. Lots of other users to be mindful of as well. There's some great views of the river, the cliffs and Clifton Suspension Bridge of course!
