Brifil Survey

1XAugust 2023 by Brian

Route description

A scenic route from Bristol to Filton, starting along the river Frome, and then using the Concorde Way shared cycle path to have a mostly-off-road walk to Filton. The only width restriction is a motorcycle gate on the footbridge over the railway in Filton, but this has been bypassed by the locals so should be OK for a wheelchair. Note too that this route passes fairly close to Bristol Temple Meads and to Filton Abbey Wood railway stations.
