The route begins in Queen Square, in the heart of Bristol. It is a beautiful garden square surrounded by Georgian buildings.
Following Route 33, it will take you west out of the city, and over the River Avon.
Next stop is the Grade II-listed Ashton Court Estate. This is a stunning country park just a couple of miles outside of the city centre. There is plenty to do and see on the estate, with a mansion house, mountain bike trails, deer parks and cafes.
The route leaves Ashton Court, running past the pretty village of Long Ashton before reaching Flax Bourton. There are some short on-road sections here.
You can take a short detour from here to Wraxhall, to visit the beautiful Tyntesfield House, owned by the National Trust.
Back on the route, and continuing on-road through Flax Bourton, you will then join a traffic-free path. This will take you all the way into Millennium Park in Nailsea.
