About trip

Not too demanding a ride which starts and ends at the Bath exit of the Bristol and Bath Railway Path. Within 5 minutes you leave the traffic behind to begin a very gentle ascent via Linear Park to the Two Tunnels (Sustrans Route 244) with the second of these, the Combe Down Tunnel being the longest pedestrian/cycle tunnel in the UK. N.B. GPS signals will be lost during the tunnel phases. After exiting the second tunnel it's onwards to join the Colliers' Way (Sustrans Route 24) which will take you first to Wellow and Shoscombe via quiet single track roads to join the cycle path to Radstock which connects to another cycle path which exits near Great Elm (which is only a short distance from Frome via quiet country lanes). There are a couple of challenging hills on the way but nothing a good gear range can't cope with. There is a nice cafe at the end of the Frome end and then it's a reversal of the route back to Bath.
