Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bath à Bristol

This is a classic ride from Bath to Bristol, mostly along the smooth and scenic Bristol and Bath Railway Path. The route is almost entirely paved and follows a dedicated cycleway for over 90% of the distance, which means you won’t run into much traffic—a huge plus if you want a relaxed, safe ride.

Starting in the historic city of Bath, famous for its Roman baths and stunning Georgian architecture, you’ll roll out through leafy suburbs before picking up the easygoing, mostly flat railway path. The ride crosses charming old stations and plenty of greenery—keep an eye out for quirky sculptures and the occasional coffee stop along the way.

There’s a gentle ascent and a bit more descent as you approach Bristol, so it’s easier riding westward. You’ll finish in Bristol’s lively city center, celebrated for its street art, harbourside, and indie vibe. Overall, it’s the perfect route for all levels—fun, scenic, and with a healthy mix of nature and culture at the start and finish!
