Breeze from Blaise Castle to Portishead Marina

This is a gentle, mainly traffic free route from the cafe at Blaise Castle out to Portishead Marina and back. From Blaise Castle we will go through Shirehampton and onto the cycle path over the Avonmouth M4 flyover. This is the only real "hill" in the route and isn't as bad as you might expect. From here will will take the cycle path round the back of Portbury Docks and towards Portishead on a quiet country road. Taking the cycle path through the Portbury Wharf Nature Reserve we will find our way onto to Portishead Marina where we will stop for coffee and cake. The return route will take us out of the marina a different way, through residential streets and country roads to the Portbury Dock cycle path and then back over the Avonmouth flyover before ending at Blaise Castle.

This is a great ride for those new or just getting back into cycling. We will cycle at a gentle pace to suit everyone and the route is easy and mainly traffic free.

Please bring money for the coffee stop, a lock, spare inner tubes and water / warm layers in case July turns out to be the usual unpredictable British weather!
