Tintern Riverside Walk

Highlight (Segment) • River

Lovely riverisde road in Tintern. There's plenty of benches overlooking the water so it's a lovely spot for a picnic.

Beautiful abbey. Lots of pubs and the like nearby for food but I recommend the Filling Station cafe. The owners are keen cyclists and you can borrow their track pump and buy spare tyres and inner tubes, as well as your flat white and cake!

Tintern Wireworks Bridge

Highlight • Monument

An interesting old railway bridge which I believe took industrial rail across the river to join Chepstow to Monmouth. The surrounding countryside is stunning and in the local area is Tintern Abbey as well as a sculpture park and other interesting buildings.

The Black Shed, Patch Bridge

Highlight • Pub

The section of towpath between here and Frampton-on-Severn is OK for more robust road bike (don't be taking your Pinarello on there!)

Gloucester and Sharpness Canal: Slimbridge to Frampton-on-Severn

Highlight • River

Easily manageable on a rugged bike in winter and just about any bike when it's dry.

Severn Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

The original Severn Road Bridge was completed in 1966 and replaced the old ferry. It's a suspension bridge with a span of 3,240 ft (988 m). Originally it carried the M4, but after the new bridge was completed it changed to the M48.

The Severn Road Bridge has wide pavements on either side, separated by barriers from the carriageway. It's noisy, but it's also quite fun to walk or ride across.

Severn Bridge

Highlight • Monument

Cycling over the Severn Bridge is a scenic and memorable experience, with the bridge crossing the Severn Estuary and connecting South Gloucestershire in England to Monmouthshire in Wales.

It's part of the National Cycle Route 4, and cyclists are permitted to use the footpath/cycleway located on the northern side of the bridge.

It opened in 1966 and replaced earlier ferry services. It was a key engineering feat of its time, featuring a suspension design, and remained the primary crossing until the opening of the Second Severn Crossing in 1996.
