    Bristol mountain bike route

    Jan 3, 2011 by Ian Carruthers | This post may contain affiliate links.

    Including Ashton Court

    South of Bristol centred on Abbots Leigh the ride has a lot of woody trails including some mana made trails that are in Ashton Court mainly the Nova trail and Leigh woods Yer Tiz Trail. There is also a bit of tricky off camber trail in the woods.

    There are two versions of this ride one starting in Abotts Leigh, the other from Bristol Zoo in Clifton. The route that starts at the zoo gives you the experience of riding over Clifton Suspension Bridge.
