Great flat tarmac route that joins Bristol and Bath

Brandy Bottom Colliery, located just off the Bath-Bristol cycle path, was an important coal mining site in the 19th century, particularly known for its deep mine workings. The site features remnants of the colliery, including old structures and spoil heaps. It operated during a time of significant coal production in the area before eventually closing. Today, it serves as a historical point of interest along the cycling route, illustrating the region's industrial heritage

An excellent section of bike path just off the Bath to Bristol. It is laid with tarmac and goes past the old colliery. Note that towards the end at the woods it can get quite muddy. This is especially so in Winter and especially if you take the fork on to the Dramway towards Westerleigh.

Nice cafe, outdoor seating has plenty of space for propping up bikes. Nice and close to the path

A brilliant place to rest part way though a bike ride.

Believe this is part of the road cyclist skip of the Bristol part of the cycle path, and while it's nice, the roads to get here certainly aren't, I'd avoid except around sunrise and sunset in the summer months.

Brandy Bottom Colliery is a former colliery in Pucklechurch, South Gloucestershire, England. It was a steam-powered colliery that operated from the early 19th century until the early 20th century. The colliery was located on the line of the Dramway, a horse-drawn railway that was used to transport coal from the Coalpit Heath area to Bristol. The earliest written record of Brandy Bottom Colliery dates from 1837, when a shaft was sunk at the site. The colliery was owned by a number of different companies over the years, including the East Bristol Collieries Company and the Avon Industrial Buildings Trust. The colliery closed in 1936 and has been derelict ever since. Brandy Bottom Colliery is a scheduled ancient monument and is a popular spot for historical walks and bike rides. The colliery is also home to a number of rare plants and animals, including the lesser horseshoe bat.
