Home of the Avon Valley Railway - interesting stop around whether on a walk - cycling on Bath to Bristol cycleway or just popping in by car. Nice cafe for tea and food.

Bitton Railway Station and Café

Highlight • Structure

Great stop for the brilliant cafe, or to quickly use their loos. Some bike parking is available. Steam trains run along the track on a number of months, which is a lovely sight. Be careful when crossing the track though!

View of Village in the Cotswolds

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Top section is smooth rolling even in winter. It soon deteriorates as the path points downwards, somewhat typically for the byways of the area.

I cleaned it on 35mm gravel tyres but certainly more volume is better in this case.

The Locksbrook Inn

Highlight • Pub

This a very popular pub with cyclists, having a large patio with lots of seating adjacent to the towpath (leads to the Bristol / Bath cycleway). An excellent pint of Butcombe Bitter and decent food.
