Cycling is one of the most popular activities in Bristol and what is more, it’s free! Situated close to the Ashton Court Estate and Leigh Woods, it attracts riders from all across Europe. With such a range of trails on offer, our Adventure Cycle Map will help you plan your route across Bristol and the surrounding areas.

One option is The Nova Trail, graded blue (moderate), which gives a great flowing ride. In places the trail splits to provide blue (moderate) and red (difficult) graded options. You could also try the longer Super Nova Trail that is graded red (difficult), branching off from the Nova Trail, that will challenge the more experienced riders.

Another option is the Yer Tiz Trail in neighbouring Leigh Woods – a ‘moderate’ blue grade narrow and engaging trail winding its way through the woods. The trail features berms (banked corners), rollers (bumps) and drops and climbs, requiring a mountain bike but suitable for relative novices to off-road cycling. The woods are popular with walkers, dog walkers and families so expect to meet others on your travels.
