素晴らしい場所

A really useful place to stop to top up your water supplies (but, unless you have extremely long arms, you might need a friend to help you press the button!)

lush trip smooth

Nice cycleway, well used, but not overcrowded and away from traffic noise

At a main crossroads of the Bristol - Bath cycle path, there is this. Mangotsfield railway station. It's now been taken over by nature & is utterly gorgeous! Opened in 1869, and lasting all the way to closing 100 years later, it had a really good run! It goes to show how quickly times were changing in the 19th & 20th centuries. What I love about it is that it's been left there. It's so surreal & beautiful. The platforms are obvious, a similar height to today, and there's a waiting room structure as well. It's all been reclaimed by nature in the last (almost) 50 years. If we allow nature the time and space; it will come back.

Bitton Station part of the Heritage Avon railway Valley line. well worth a stop

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

The old railway, which still has some use, widens at this point. Several trains and carriages can be seen parked up. It is part of the Bristol & Bath railway line
