Festival Way

Highlight • Cycleway

Lovely, traffic-free way to connect Long Ashton to Backwell and it's endless lanes.

Nailsea to Long Ashton Cycle Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

Probably the best way to get back toward the city from Backwell, super smooth and off the beaten track away from cars! Good sunset views over the trainline in the evening also!

Ashton Road Gatehouse, Ashton Court Estate

Highlight • Monument

Check the closing time displayed ( 30m into the park) as you enter as these change with the season due to daylight.
