A leisure cycle ride along the River Avon from the city of Bath to Bristol and Clifton Village passing Saltford and Keynsham in South Gloucestershire, England.
I waited for the right sort of time to cycle this trail. Starting at Bath Spa railway station and following the River Avon and onto the Bristol & Bath Railway Path for a short while before splitting off and following the Avon along the river banks. This alternative route along the river was kindly suggested by Christopher C in the comments section and a frosty and slightly frosty day seemed like the right day to try it.
I added a little to the suggestion by joining the river earlier to add a little more rather than cycle more of the path that has featured in a few of my other cycle films. As a trail the early part is mildly challenging but doesn’t make the best cycle trail to follow but after Keynsham the trail is much more easy going and idyllic with the slow moving flow of the Avon River and treelined embankments.
I also added in the destination of Clifton and the bridge, something I had been planning on visiting for a film for a little while.
I hope you enjoy this Autumn – Wintery cycle ride with the delicate sunlight, mists rising from the water, the crunch of frost and ice under tyres and the rich sunset.

That looks pretty hard work in place, nice one😊
Lovely present Madison my home area cycled many times last little part North common to Bitton and back last summer. Confidence low but pleased after xx
Another finely crafted production 😊
I do like the night time, town playouts; it's nice to see both countryside & town.
Have you got all the instruments or do you use a synth etc ?
Hope the storm is being gentle with you.
epic video, always a nice chilled vibe, thanks – what a ride starting off with the commuters heading to work and you heading out on a bike adventure in the frost!….loved the different scenes you filmed along the way and well done on the bike getting through some of the trails and paths…you captured a great end of the day up by the bridge and then back to the station – nice one 🙂
Another excellent video.
Just watched this one on the TV again another excellent video. I may have mentioned in the past that my husband and myself cycled from Pucklechurch to Bath via the old railway. But it was Clifton that bought back memories of myself and sister playing on the downs when with Mom and Dad we made our way down to Dunster for our summer holidays. For my husband it was visiting his Auntie who worked in the hospital. But I leave on a sad note it's a pity the Zoo was closed down many a happy hour spent there. Keep up your excellent work !!! ps how long did it take to clean the bike??!!!!
Your videos are the highlight of my week, done with style, taste and skill. Thanks for your work.
Nice video, Bath to Bristol is on my list to do, I like Bristol, cosmopolitan and cycle friendly
