Overview

Starting from Portishead our route includes three sections of the coast path. On reaching Redcliffe Bay we head inland to reach the Gordano Valley. An ascent and a stretch of woodland leads us to Clevedon and lunch. We soon have views of water again before a steep climb and an easier descent brings us to Walton in Gordano. Another climb will hopefully reward us with good views before we lose height again to reach the coast path which is followed for the rest of the day.
