Waypoints

View of Clifton Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

An excellent spot to sit before the crowds arrive later in the day and, early in the morning, the area is full of bunnies.

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.

View of Wales from Sandy Lane

Prior's Wood Trail

Highlight • Trail

There is always some fun to be had here on bikes! The descent into the valley is great, as are the climbs back out!

Tip by

24.2 km

Final stretch of a cracking lane that runs all the way from Clapton-in-Gordano to Clevedon. Typical country lane, with working farms along it so can get a bit rough in places. Great in either direction!

Lilypool Drove Byway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Expect mud and puddles, but this farm track offers a bit of off road fun for gravel bikes and beyond. Sign at the entrance announcing its change of status to restricted byway.

Bullhouse Lane Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Slightly chunkier alternative to Wrington runway to the east. Can be accessed from the latter via a short section of footpath and a couple of gates. Starts off fairly flat …

View over Goblin Combe

Highlight • Forest

A great spot overlooking Goblin Combe with views extending over Weston and the coastline. Beautiful. There are benches here to relax on, too. Take care near the edge as it's a steep drop.

Gravel Track Above Backwell

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Mix of gravel and mud and used by horses so a bit rough. Nice on the dry for a gravel bike.

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.
