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.

Fantastically beautiful views all around

I did this ride yesterday. It was deliciously cool on a hot day, and condensation drips do fall from the ceiling, but no problem for us. Both tunnels were lit tho pedestrians were tricky to spot and a bell was useful. We enjoyed the soundscape. I was pleased to have a light so I was visible to those cycling the other way. We encountered a group with a wheelchair user and it was tricky to spot her for those with no lights. A great place to bring kids for an adventure.

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

The longest cycling and walking tunnel in the UK - 1,672 metres long to be precise! The Two Tunnels path is very wide and smooth so it’s perfect for small children who are not very confident yet, or for little ones on balance bikes. It is nearly flat as well, so great for smaller legs or kids who are learning to ride a bike. Don’t forget to take lights with you because the tunnels have some lighting, but a front and rear light are advised. Also remember that the tunnel might be cold on a hot summer day.The tunnels feature lights and music!

Kelston Roundhill affords spellbinding views over Bath, Bristol and Somerset. In clear conditions, you can see both Severn bridges, across to Wales and the Black Mountains, the Wiltshire Downs in the east and the Mendip Hills in the south. The countryside in this neck of the woods is magnificent; a picturesque and quintessentially-English patchwork. A superb section of the Cotswold Way runs over the hill, too.

Excellent views
