Little Stoke Park BMX Track

Highlight • MTB Park

Such a rad BMX track (although you could ride it on pretty much any bike), well worth a visit.

Severn Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

The original Severn Road Bridge was completed in 1966 and replaced the old ferry. It's a suspension bridge with a span of 3,240 ft (988 m). Originally it carried the M4, but after the new bridge was completed it changed to the M48.

The Severn Road Bridge has wide pavements on either side, separated by barriers from the carriageway. It's noisy, but it's also quite fun to walk or ride across.

Severn Bridge

Highlight • Monument

Cycling over the Severn Bridge is a scenic and memorable experience, with the bridge crossing the Severn Estuary and connecting South Gloucestershire in England to Monmouthshire in Wales.

It's part of the National Cycle Route 4, and cyclists are permitted to use the footpath/cycleway located on the northern side of the bridge.

It opened in 1966 and replaced earlier ferry services. It was a key engineering feat of its time, featuring a suspension design, and remained the primary crossing until the opening of the Second Severn Crossing in 1996.
