リトルソドベリーのおすすめライド

lush trip smooth

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.

A good selection of cakes!

Loooooong climb, but the gradient is very steady.

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

RESTRAP Task: Sufi whirling is a Turkish form of physically active meditation. Off your bikes, with lots of space around you, spin round on the spot 10 times before continuing the ride!

Tourist information and public toilets in old market town building with view of Chipping Sodbury high street.

War memorial with view of high street. THE ORIGINAL CHIPPING SODBURY MARKET CROSS WAS ERECTED ABOUT THE YEAR 1553 NEAR THIS SITE. IT WAS FINALLY REMOVED TO THE PRESBYTERY, REMAINING THERE FOR MANY YEARS. THE EXISTING PORTIONS WERE RETURNED TO THE TOWN, WHEN IT WAS RESTORED AND RE-ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION, IN THE YEAR 1920.
