Route and scheme drawings
The Standish Multiuser Path (MUP) scheme aims to enhance facilities for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders in the area. Additionally, it will contribute to CO2 reductions. The path will serve as an active travel connection between Stonehouse and Standish.
The route begins at Horsemarling roundabout in the south. It follows the B4008 verge along the carriageway for the initial 100 metres from the roundabout.
After that, it moves behind the hedge along the adjacent field to the west of B4008 for 300 metres.
Finally, it returns to the verge near along the carriageway for the last 100 metres before reaching the Blackbridge access track in the north.
The route will eventually connect to the future Gloucestershire Cycle Spine scheme, which will link Gloucester and Stroud.
The scheme will be built in two phases:
Phase 1 (south to north): This phase covers the first 400 metres of the path, starting from Horsemarling roundabout.
It includes:
- A 100-metre on road section of the multiuser path segregated from the traffic by a buffer zone.
- A 300-metre section that serves as a shared-use path and a bridleway within the field.
This phase has been completed and opened on 17 July 2025.
Phase 2: The final 100 metres consist of an on road section of the multiuser path segregated from the traffic by a buffer zone.
