Excellent stop, really busy so be patient.

I road from Bath to Caldicot South Wales last summer on this route, amazing calm journey to Bristol, stopped off at the old railway building for a coffee on the way. Excellent path to be fair, even for a Saturday, only about 40 or so at the old station stop, but no issues with riding, peaceful to be fair.

Brilliant route for kids on bikes- they love riding though tunnels!

Take the climb up the back of Portbury or Caswell hill and enjoy the descent down as a reward. As a climb it's got a sort of alpine feel, and while it's never really steep it does go on a bit. Due to the traffic I much prefer this as a descent, In a similar vein to Brockley Combe but that's overall a nicer climb.

Some major works to the first portion in Bristol, and the Mangotsfield section have fixed a lot of the issues that plagued our lovely path but there are still some sections which have seriously deteriorated, most notably the Oldland common section just before Bitton and the section between Bath and Saltford. All this is to say, for the most part I don't recommend this for road bikes. Not only is 35kmh too fast for this path (and you can absolutely get up that fast and beyond), it will also rattle you pretty roughly. I tend to avoid as much of it as I can, only jumping onto it when it's getting late and I don't want to get caught out on country lanes in the dark. A fabulous commuter route though.

Staple Hill tunnel is a disused railway tunnel that was originally part of the Midland Railway's Mangotsfield and Bath Branch Line, which connected Bristol and Bath. The tunnel runs for approximately 1.1 miles (1.8 km) through the hillside, and was opened in 1869. It is now an iconic part of the Bristol-Bath railway cycling path. The cycle path takes up less than half the width of the tunnel and the rest of the floor consists of uneven rocks. The tunnel is lit all year-round, but cyclists are advised to turn their lights on. The roof leaks in places, giving the appearance of rain.

The location of a manor house ever since the 11th century, Ashton Court and its extensive estate is a grand setting to the west of Bristol. Owned by the Smyth family between the 16th and 20th centuries, today the mansion and its stables are Grade I-listed. The surrounding estate includes a deer park, woodland, MTB trails and golfing facilities and is an absolute delight to explore, rewarding with fine views across Bristol. After a run in the parkland, the Courtyard Cafe is a tempting option.
