The Peregrine Path
Monmouth to Symonds Yat East
Sustrans has opened a level riverside route along the former railway line between Hadnock Road, Monmouth, and Symonds Yat East.
The path is an example of how such a route can blend harmoniously with the environment, providing a safe and healthy alternative and encouraging cars to be left at home.

Two Tunnels Greenway
Currently being built in Bath
The Two Tunnels route will use an old rail trackbed to burrow beneath Combe Down - the high ground south of the city - creating an almost level and direct route between the city centre of Bath and the Midford valley, 2½ miles south of the city.

At the moment Brockweir has more young people and families than it has for many years. Movement for these young people can be very restricted. The availability of a cycleway would give them an opportunity to develop their autonomy, being able to travel to local villages, and - for those who want to - to cycle to their catchment area secondary school in Chepstow (Wyedean).
