The Bristol & Bath Railway Path

This is a 13 mile off road route between Bristol and Bath. The path is open to walkers and cyclists with access is for disabled users. The Path is an integral commuting route, an attractive leisure path and an important wildlife corridor.

The Path was constructed on the former Midland Railway track bed which closed for passenger traffic at the end of the 1960s. Between 1979 and 1986, the railway line was converted into the Railway Path.
Some of the former stations that were along the Path are still popular stopping points today.
