To experience an important part of Bristol’s heritage, pay a visit to the Avon Valley Railway. The railway was once used to connect Bristol to Bath, but today it is a tourist attraction with around 80,000 visitors every year. 

Avon Valley Railway features a fully-restored Victorian station to provide an immersive historical experience. The railway also runs regular steam and diesel train rides for visitors – or, for hiking enthusiasts, you can walk alongside the track.
