Entering from North Stoke keep your eyes peeled for a green bridle way sign which is easy to miss. It quickly gets steep and rocky with running water even during warmer summer spells, Strava segment is called PIPLEY BOTTOM ROCKY HORROR which is a fair description. Very technical descent and breaking on loose rocks is sketchy. I was on xc hardtail but defo hike a bike on a gravel rig. The ascent following is another hike a bike rooty and muddy. Worth a try to test out your technical skills on the down and the up.

Pretty nasty hump up into Carlingcott either East or west. Otherwise one of the highlights of the area. From the west it's pretty rough and steep and from the east it's more drawn out and smoother.

Fantastic views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge from the river path.

Compact gravel all the way

Maybe a really good mountain biker could do it but not rideable on a gravel bike.

Harptree Combe – a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). In contrast to the conifers of East Harptree Woods, this area contains deciduous oak and ash woodland, with old hazel coppice and rough, marshy grassland. Steep limestone walls rise on both sides, with tiny caves visible in the rock face. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) to protect the flora and fauna that thrive in its old ash woodland, rocky crags and rough grassland.

The river Avon trail connects Bristol and Pill and is a lovely alternative to the road cycleway. It can get a bit busy on weekends during the afternoons
