Gloucestershire cycle spine

The Gloucestershire Cycle spine is a planned cycling and walking route extending across the county from Stroud in the south to Bishop’s Cleeve in the north. It will contribute to a significant active travel network across the county, in line with Gloucestershire County Council’s ambition to deliver high-quality cycle and pedestrian facilities that comply with the latest cycle design guidance, improving the quality and connectivity of cycling and walking facilities.

It will support a Greener Gloucestershire, providing alternative active travel opportunities and ensuring that carbon emission reductions can be achieved. The scheme will support improvements to public health and make it easier for people to cycle and walk to work, education, homes and transport hubs.
