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, …

Gravel path through Ashton Court

Highlight • Forest

The missing link on the festival way, fresh new gravel!

Bridge Over Blagdon Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful straight road with great lake view leading to the hills. The wooded area just north of it leading to the lake is a great stretch of road, too

Coffee Hut at Mendip Hills

Highlight • Cafe

Great little coffee hut, perfect for getting an espresso hit and some cake to refuel after climbing Burrington or Cheddar

33.4 km

Charterhouse SSSI

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

Caves in the limestone rock around Charterhouse village and Roman lead and silver mines along segment.

Tip by

35.2 km

Climb from Strawberry Line to Charterhouse

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Use this route if you're looking for a more manageable way onto the top of the Mendips from the Strawberry line. Only a couple of short, steeper sections and the rest is fine for spinning up to the top!

View of Bristol Airport Runway

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Nice view of the planes taking over. Pretty busy with plane watchers but nice to have a change of scene on route

Thatched Cottage on Backwell Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Forget Belmont, this is where the real climbing happens! No boy racers roaring past you in to a blind turn, its likely there'll be no cars at all in fact. …

71.5 km

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!

Belmont Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Good surface and therefore I prefer descending this hill and going up Wraxall hill. It has a couple of turns, but can be taken at speed. Would be good for doing loops Belmont to Wraxall

76.1 km

Providence Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Steep climb going up a residential street heading towards Clifton, Bristol. Great alternative to going through busy Ashton Court on the weekends. The climb is shorted than Ashton Court but a fair bit steeper.
