The Pill cycling path is a great way to explore the city of Bristol and its surroundings. The path is well-maintained and mostly flat, making it a perfect option for cyclists of all levels.

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 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, although can get busy with both cyclists, walkers and dogs so take it easy.

Look out for the parallel little singletrack in the trees if that's more your bag.

Ashton Court Estate

Highlight • Cafe

Beautiful countryside estate just a few minutes ride from Bristol city centre. The estate has a manor house with a little cafe attached and toilets. The gardens are open to the public and feature some interesting new sculptures. The grounds have a range of bridleways if you fancy getting off the tarmac and great MTB trails if you want to switch it up completely. There's also football golf, frisbee golf and MTB hire!
