The Pill Path, a bridleway that runs along the River Avon on the opposite side to the Portway, is a great way to access Leigh Woods from the city or enjoy looking up at Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge. Follow the path all the way along the river to get to Pill, the village that gives the track its name.
