18.5 miles, 1 hour 33 min. cycle/6 hours 10 min. walk
www.sustrans.org.uk/find-a-route-on-the-national-cycle-network/colliers-way
This scenic cycling and walking path runs between Dundas Aqueduct near Bath to Radstock and Frome, through pretty Somerset villages and verdant countryside. The gentle terrain of this route, along disused railway lines and quiet country lanes, means that it is perfect for families and novice cyclists. Sustrans Route 24 starts just outside Bath city centre, then travels to Limpley Stoke and through the Frome Valley, so you can easily begin your cycling adventure at Frome.
The Colliers Way also runs alongside the beautiful Kennet and Avon canal, and a welcome rest on your journey can be enjoyed at the canalside café and visitor centre at Limpley Stoke.

30 miles, c. 2.5 – 3 hours cycle
A challenging but enjoyable route that takes you from the centre of Frome to the verdant Mells River, via the many picturesque and industrial villages of the Mendips. There are many tough climbs along the way, but the views and architecture on display are well worth the effort. You will pedal through the grand Longleat estate and attractive Somerset villages, and then on to Mells where you will see the impressive old ironstone works and lime kilns lining the river at this former industrial centre.
Welcoming country pubs feature all along the route, to provide sustenance and a well-deserved rest.
The cycling route can be found at the back of this manual.

13 miles, 1 hour (or 4 hours walking)
www.sustrans.org.uk and www.hopeandanchormidford.co.uk/cycle-route/
This cycleway starts at Bath Spa train station, and follows National Routes 224, 24 and 4, but you can adapt the route to suit. The cycle trail covers railway paths, minor roads and towpaths with loose gravel. What makes this route really special is the journey through the 2 tunnels: Devonshire Tunnel at Bloomfield and Combe Down Tunnel, which at one mile in length is the UK’s longest cycling tunnel. While you cycle through the tunnel you will be surrounded by a stunning audio-visual installation.
The route also takes in a viaduct and aqueduct, and conveniently runs past the Hope and Anchor pub at Midford.
