Quick ride by bicycle from Bristol to Long Ashton

This scenic ride kicks off in the vibrant heart of Bristol, famous for its street art, historic harbourside, and lively energy. You’ll make your way southwest out of the city along nearly 9 km of mostly paved and asphalt surfaces, rolling through a mix of city cycleways and quiet roads—perfect for a relaxed, almost car-free escape.

Early on, you'll enjoy urban sights before the environment softens, giving way to greenery as you approach Ashton Court Estate. Keep an eye out for deer and sweeping views over the city. After a gentle climb (about 63 meters of ascent—nothing too tough), you’ll roll into charming Long Ashton. This picturesque village sits just outside Bristol, known for its friendly atmosphere and as the gateway to the countryside of North Somerset.

All in all, it's an easy-to-moderate ride, ideal for a weekend outing or a de-stressing city break. Don’t forget to stop at a local café in Long Ashton to celebrate your ride!
