브리스톨 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Go west-east, much better, just a thrilling descent down to the Winford road. There is a section beforehand but it's straight off the main road with only a grassy verge to ride along to connect to Freeman's Lane, and no island to make the A38 less lethal.

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.

Lovely track, but unfortunately not for bikes. I had some locals reminding me it’s for walkers only. There’s a sign at one end, but not the other.

The ford is still pretty deep after a few months of little rain, and there's definitely a few puddles sticking around, probably wouldn't go through them on the basis of the farms all around. 💩

Super country lanes that take you all the way from Portbury, through Clapton and on to Clevedon, keeping away from the main roads. The Black Horse (Kicker) pub Clapton Lane is well worth a stop 👍

Low traffic road, lovely

fabulous
