Excellent stop, really busy so be patient.

lush trip smooth

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.

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.

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

Ignore the concerning suggestion from Marco to 'arm yourself' if you commute on the path regularly - that's illegal. The path is safe to use and incidents are rare but not unheard of.

Bristol to Bath Cycle Path - We're so lucky to have this path in our City, however sadly, you must keep your eyes open and remain frosty at all times! Especially when returning to inner city Bristol, passing through Easton and Old Market. If you own an expensive ebike or bike, just be careful as the cycle path has a long history of violent robbery and thefts. It's best to ride in a group if you and your friends are serious cyclists with expensive kit, but if you have to ride on your own, perhaps you're a daily commuter, consider being armed 😉 Or just avoid that section entirely! But once you've escaped the city, it's such a beautiful place to ride one's bike and so quick to get out into the countryside.

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