Take a healthy walk

Even better if you round of the trip with a visit to a cafe or perhaps a local pub to refuel afterwards.

We’ve selected three destinations, each within a 40 minute train journey from Bristol Temple Meads where you will find a cafe and a toilet within close proximity of the station and a gentle scenic walk to get the endorphins flowing.

Download the maps for walks from Severn Beach, Yatton and Bradford-on-Avon stations at the foot of this page.

If you would like some company while your waking, check out the Wessex Wanderers page .  This friendly group have been walking from the rails for almost 30 years.

Feeling adventurous and wish to travel further afield?  Visit Railwalks.co.uk  to discover more and perhaps contribute to this volunteer-led initiative that aims to promote and facilitate walking from and between railway stations in Britain, by providing a directory of walks.
