Eynsham Red Mar 2021 10:00am, 10 Mar 2021 7,340 posts	0 Eynsham Red As a Bristolian who moved away in 1975, I’ve never had the opportunity to explore the river and floating docks area much, so this would be a great way to see so much of what I’ve missed.

About This Thread

Maintained by ♪♫ Synge ♪♫

For discussion of the Bristol Bridges Walk. As at 2021, the full route visits 45 bridges in a distance of 45km. There is a reference page maintained by Bristol Civic Society (see link below) and there is also a handbook which can be purchased through that page or on Amazon: Jeff Lucas's "From Brycgstowe to Bristol in 45 Bridges" published by Bristol Books.

The route includes a large loop of around 20km down the River Avon to take in the M5 motorway bridge at Avonmouth and one other, so it should be possible to devise a route which excludes these and offers 43 bridges within around 25km. Sounds like an idea for a run ...
