올드랜드 최고의 러닝 경로

장소의 보석

A really useful place to stop to top up your water supplies (but, unless you have extremely long arms, you might need a friend to help you press the button!)

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.

This is a brilliant sculpture to look at, large in size located along the main cycleway. As you approach the sculpture it is not clear what it actually is. You have to stop to work out what it is, especially if you are not from the local area

This is an interesting location around the Old Mangotsfield Station. There are two big walls adjacent to each other that are free standing, these look like listed buildings. The cycleway around this area is good

CLUE: Top up your water, look at the base of the sculpture

You can stop for a hot drink and/or snack in an old train carriage at Bitton station! A lot of the walk is along the cycle path - so it's a shared pedestrian/cycle route. Just to be mindful whether you are walking or on a bike that there will be others either going slower / faster than you & if on a bike to make yourself known 💚👍
