Avon Valley Railway
On a recent day out we visited the Avon Valley Railway between Bristol and Bath. It’s a restored steam railway sharing the track bed of a former railway line with the Bristol to Bath cycle route. Trains run both ways from the restored station in the centre of the line. To the south the line crosses the Bristol River Avon with a station at Avon Riverside. Here the engine runs round the train ready to head back north on the next of the regular trains. 
At Avon Riverside there’s a place to picnic by the river and boat trips along the River Avon, and the opportunity to walk to Swineford Lock. We did all three on a fine sunny afternoon. The river level was well down. If you look at the vertical poles the pontoons are attached to so they can float up and down you can see there’s room to float a long way up. Boaters can moor to visit the railway, or have a picnic, the opposite to our travels. There’s more pictures in the photo gallery.
