This is a great route along the Bristol-Bath Railway path from St Phillips. Your ride will take you past the old stations at Fishponds, Mangotsfield and Warmley and through the old railway tunnel. (no lights required) Explore wildlife and the various sculptures before reaching the historic Bitton Station from where steam trains run along a restored section of the line. This is the halfway point where we will stop for a well earned rest and refreshments before the return back into Bristol. This is a steady and easygoing ride although the outward leg does have a very gradual climb until Mangotsfield but nothing too tasking and you are rewarded by the slight downhill on the way back.
