Walking and Cycling

Welcome to The Journal’s guide to walking and cycling in Bradley Stoke.

Walking

Bradley Stoke has a surprisingly large number of pedestrian-only and shared usage (pedestrian/cyclist) routes. Maps of the path network are displayed at many places in the town.

South Gloucestershire Council has been keen to encourage the use of these routes for short journeys to schools and the shops. Take a look at The Journal’s map of pedestrian routes into the new town centre.

The Three Brooks Local Nature Reserve (LNR) in Bradley Stoke offers a network of well-maintained traffic-free routes, ideal for exploring the local environment. The Three Brooks Walk and the Forest of Avon Community Forest Path both pass through the reserve and offer walkers a chance to explore te wider countryside.

More Information:

Severnside Ramblers, the local branch of the Ramblers Association, organises a number of walks each week. Meeting point is the Aldi car park in Bradley Stoke, with members sharing cars from there to the starting point of each walk.

Cycling around Bradley StokeThe “Cycling around Bradley Stoke” leaflet, from South Gloucestershire Council (SGC), provides information on suggested routes and cycle parking in the Bradley Stoke area.

The leaflet illustrates cycle-only routes, as well as routes with the least amount of traffic that are quieter and safer to cycle along. Locations where people can safely park their bikes are also marked.

The leaflet was produced in July 2008, so does not show routes and facilities in Bradley Stoke’s new town centre, which is due to open in Autumn 2008.

Copies of the leaflet can be picked up from Bradley Stoke Library. It may also be ordered online (free of charge) via the SGC website.

The leaflet can also be downloaded [PDF, 1.4MB] from the Better by Bike website.
