A gentle 14km/9 mile linear walk starting from the Portway park and Ride in Shirehampton and ending at Nova Scotia pub by Cumberland Basin.
From the Park and ride we head immediately across the M5 motorway bridge giving us views of the river, Pill and Shirehampton. We work our way through Pill, picking up the River Avon tidal trail which takes us under the Clifton Suspension Bridge and all the way to Cumberland Basin.
Depending on time we have the option of a drink in the Nova Scotia after the walk.
For drivers needing to get back to the park and ride, the number 9 bus can be picked up on Merchants road.
Alternatively it can be picked up on Hotwell road for anyone wishing to get back to Bristol city centre or Temple Meads.
Please bring a pack lunch and drink as there are no facilities beyond Pill until we get back to Bristol.
Paths may be muddy so please wear suitable footwear. Bring clothing appropriate for the weather and a waterproof coat.
The track is narrow in places so please be mindful of cyclists and runners.
If not driving, the Portway Park and ride is accessible by the number 9 bus which runs every 15 minutes from the city centre. The first bus on a Sunday leaves the Haymarket at 10:04 or from Temple Meads station at 09:54.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
