周辺のスポット/アトラクション・トップ20

Xc or Gravel route best ridden flat out. Access to 50 acre wood and Leigh Woods along the way. This section brings you back to the main gate.

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

Take the climb up the back of Portbury or Caswell hill and enjoy the descent down as a reward. As a climb it's got a sort of alpine feel, and while it's never really steep it does go on a bit. Due to the traffic I much prefer this as a descent, In a similar vein to Brockley Combe but that's overall a nicer climb.

Look out for the long right bend - make sure you brake beforehand!

Awesome views towards Bristol and smooth, sinuous tarmac—what’s not to love? Up or down, it’s a treat (different flavours, of course).

Lovely all weather trails. Nice and flowy. Suitable for intermediate riders on CX/gravel bikes

One of the nicest climbs around Bristol and normally not too busy!

As a cyclist and driver I cannot recommend for bikes - too much impact for motor traffic whether descending or ascending

Do I just park in the parking of ashton court and do the nova trail to experience switchback & swoops?

Linking Bristol to Pill, this sometimes gravelly, sometimes rooty and mucky trail runs alongside the River Avon and is perfect for riders, walkers and joggers. Take more care during peak times and beware this is usually flooded with big puddles all through the winter!

Great path to get to Pill / Portishead from Bristol. Scenic and flat, gets really mucky in autumn / winter - still worth it!

Lovely gravel trail along the Avon. Great views on all sides. It can get a little narrow in places, though, so take care.

One of the best trails in Ashton Court IMO

You can this one hard as it flattens enough in the turns to catch your breath.

Awesome trail built and maintained by the wonderful folks at Pedal Progression and their band of merry volunteers (chapeau). If you'd like to give it a go, but don't have a MTB or gravel bike to ride, they also do really good hire bikes for a few hours or longer. This section is the end of the blue-rated Nova trail, which leads to the gatehouse closest to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. To get back to the start for a second lap, follow the road on your right and take the gravel road up to the woods.

A great part of the blue Nova trail to session thanks to the parallel fire road. It's barely downhill but you'll find loads of berms and bumps to hone in your skills on.

Nice easy, well surfaced trails

Nice little track around Ashton Court. Did it on a e-mtb and it was highly enjoyable. Don't expect big jump or big drop. It's a fairly easy course, suitable for all levels.

Bumpy for a hybrid, but a beautiful ride and well worth it
