The Pier to Pier Way is a new 13-mile route designed to appeal to commuters, leisure users and tourists. It consists of quiet roads and new or improved traffic-free sections and is a ‘missing link’ and the central section of the North Somerset Coastal Towns Cycle Route.

The project builds on the success of the established Brean Down Way cycle route. The route provides the opportunity for a host of healthy and sustainable leisure, tourism and commuting activities that will also boost the local economy.

This project has been made possible by the hard work and co-operation of many stakeholders, including the campaigners who had the original vision, the various landowners and North Somerset Council staff.

The complex Pier to Pier project involved installing a new bridge over the river Yeo at Tutshill to separate the cycle path from the agricultural traffic in the area. It includes a new one-mile traffic-free route crossing the Yeo and Oldbridge rivers and is based on the line of the former Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Railway.
