Walks by Bus

I have done all of the walks below within a day, starting and finishing in central Bristol, using direct buses only (no 2-bus journeys). The last column links to Outdooractive, a mapping app, where you can see a short description and a map of the walk.

The easiest way to follow any of these walks is on the Outdooractive app, which is free to use (see how to use it). This is my Outdooractive profile, where you can search all the walks, reordering them by length or difficulty. If you have Outdooractive, you can bookmark the walks that interest you, and return to them later. Alternatively, you can download the gpx file for use on a different mapping app, such as OS Maps, Komoot or AllTrails. You might be able to do that directly on your phone, or, depending on how your phone is set up, you might have to download it to a computer, first.
