Diversions

These are the current diversions to the published route:

Diversions

Sparke Evans Bridge Closure

Sparke Evans Bridge is currently closed so there are two options for alternative navigation.

Option 1 – Cross the river at Totterdown Bridge and follow the A4 Bath Road to Arnos Vale Cemetery. This misses out Sparke Evans Park.

Option 2 – Contine through Spark Evans Park, under the St Philips Causeway, to exit the path near Marks and Spencers. Cross the river using the main road and continue past the garage to join the A4 Bath road. Turn right to rind Arnos Vale Cemetery

Steps Exiting to Wedmore Vale

The wooden steps exiting to Wedmore Vale from St Barnabus church are not in a good state. It is possible to exit this way, but it is very difficult under foot, particulary in the wet. The risk of falls, slips or trips is high. The diverstion exits the Bommie straight on from the top entrance rather than bearing left. This takes a path through the woods to exit onto Wedmore Vale lower down. This diversion will miss the St Barnabus lookout.
