Clifton Suspension Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

You can’t help but to be in awe of this beautiful structure. Bike lanes filter you around the sides of the toll barriers but keep an eye on cars going through as you rejoin the road.

Spanning the spectacular Avon Gorge, Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of Bristol's most iconic landmarks. The bridge has been a toll bridge since it opened in 1864, connecting Clifton to Leigh Woods. The bridge was designed by William Henry Barlow and John Hawkshaw, based on earlier drawings by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

The bridge costs £1 for vehicles. Cyclists can ride across fo free.

Sheepway Road and Disused Railway, Gordano Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Sheepway is the old main road & a quieter way than the busy Portbury Hundred (A369) to get from Portbury to Portishead or vice versa. Access from Portbury via the foot/cycle bridge at the bottom of Station Rd. Passes over the old disused railway line twice with nice views over the NE part of the Gordano Valley.

Nailsea Wall

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful flat and straight lane, surrounded by rivers and meadows, I've seen swans nesting from the road. Narrow but there are passing places for cars and it's usually quiet on the traffic front anyway.
