We are the Wessex Wanderers Railway Walks. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
From Sea Mills Railway station, we walk beside the River Avon adjacent to the Gorge, crossing the A4 (can be busy, care needed), taking a steep climb up through Bishops Knoll Nature Reserve to the Downs, then returning to Sea Mills station via Stoke Bishop, mainly on footpaths.
Please bring picnic lunch
Well behaved dogs on leads welcome.
