The Flax Bourton Greenway

The Flax Bourton Greenway provides a sustainable transport link between Flax Bourton, Nailsea, Backwell and Long Ashton.

The path means that walkers and cyclists can travel between Nailsea and Long Ashton and avoid sharing both the A370 and B3130 with hundreds of cars and lorries.

The new path follows the railway line and transforms the way that people can travel in this part of North Somerset.

You can download the Nailsea area and Flax Bourton Greenway map to have a look at the cycle routes.

The easy gradients, surfacing and access controls make the path ideal for wheelchairs and pushcairs, and most cyclists will find the compacted stone-dust surface gives a comfortable ride.

You can look at all our local cycling routes by downloading maps from Cycle West.

Hard copies are also available free from your local library, the Tourist Information Centres and Somerset House in Weston-super-Mare.
