Cycling Bristol

Ten short leisure rides in Bristol

'Cycling Bristol' includes 10 great short bikes rides in and around Bristol. As well as the really well known routes like the Bristol and Bath Railway Path are the lesser known Frome Greenway and other largely off road routes such as the River Avon Trail.

There are also four specially formulated routes which utilise Bristol's wonderful off road cycle network as much as possible, like the Ashton Court Loop.

• St Phillips Greenway & Whitchurch Railway Path - Temple Meads to Horseworld - 5.3mi
• Ashton Court Loop - Aston Court to Clifton - 6.6mi
• Frome Greenway Loop - Centre to Stoke Park, Eastville and St Werburghs - 9.7mi
