Gutsy Girls’ Top 5 Hikes near Bristol

You probably already know that Bristol is fantastic for culture, nightlife and its food scene. An added bonus is that whether you live in Bristol or are just visiting, you don’t have to venture far out of the city to find some great hiking spots. If you’re after a pretty countryside amble, a trek through some spectacular landscape or an invigorating coastline walk, Bristol has it all within an hours’ drive (though in some cases, it does take longer by public transport). 

Here's our round-up of what we think are the top five walks near Bristol, covering north, south, east and west of the city. Each one offers something different and you can reach all of them by either bus or train. Plus, most of them are dog friendly and include great pub, restaurant or café options for a post-hike lunch or a pick-me-up drink along the way.

What is Bikepacking?

Bikepacking is the same as self-supported overnight hiking trips, just on two wheels! Combining the freedom of multi-day backcountry hiking, exploring off-road trails with the ability to cover more ground. It’s about exploring places less travelled, via singletrack trails, bridleways and ancient tracks and paths, carrying the essential gear and not much more.

Sound fun? Keep on reading!
