lush trip five stars 🤩

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.

Fantastically beautiful views all around

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

Doors are open in the day time.
