Gravel Switchbacks Through Woodland

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Follow the fire road down through the woods and down the switchbacks. Bonus points for the steep detours or short cuts on the switchbacks with rooty drop-offs!

Equally good as a steady climb.

Wraxall Piece Forest Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

There are a few forest trails and bridleways in these woods, the latter can get a bit muddy! Still, it makes for a great detour to avoid the main road here.

Belmont Hill Fire Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A cracking off-road alternative climb to the well-known Belmont Hill, you'll start on a quiet lane from the bottom near the farm shop, which then crumbles into a broken, rocky …

Narrow Bridleway Through Hedges

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Cut off the main road and onto the bike path. Tucked away in the hedge it's easy to miss if you don't know it's there!

Best ridden in summer, pretty rutted and narrow and very mucky after wet weather.

Bourton Combe Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Although there are some parallel built mountain biking trails through Bourton Combe, this bridleway is a brilliant linking trail from the village of Flax Bourton heading south.

You're in the …

Wrington–Brockley Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

This bridleway connects the village of Wrington (south) to Brockley Combe (north). It's a great connecting way for any routes out of Bristol heading south towards the Mendips. At the …

Greatstone Lane Double Track

Highlight • Trail

Lovely bit of hard-packed earth double-track. Starts off as eroded tarmac to the west before getting a bit more 'farmy' further along.

There were a couple of puddles left even …

Rocks Lane Byway

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Aptly named, a steep climb up from Barrow Lane near Winford which is pretty rocky but clearable, before a long flatter stretch between the hedgerows. A good challenge!

Queen's Jubilee Monument Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

This bridleway runs along the side of a wood and across a farmer's field which I can imagine being a mud bath in the wet. Today it was bone dry …

Barrow Court Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Lovely country lane to either climb or descend (but obviously descending it is better)!

Tip by

45.7 km

Ashton Court Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Brilliant new bit of cyclepath across Ashton Court from the university buildings to the wide gravel track up to the gate at the southern end. Very wide and easy gravel, …
