The Saxon Path starts in Stoke Gifford, just to south east of Bradley Stoke. It takes a north westerly route until it reaches its destination at Patchway common. Before Bradley Stoke took on its status as a town in its own right, Stoke Gifford and Patchway were the only parishes that the path crossed. Both the start and finish of Saxon Path reveal a lot about the places where people first settled centuries ago. It is interesting to note how these centres of population have shifted over the years.
It can be argued that the path begins at Rock lane in Stoke Gifford. This lane lies roughly half way along North Road, the main route the village. The Poplar Rooms and fields stand next to it, as does the village’s Baptist church. Nowadays, when people think of the heart of Stoke Gifford, what probably comes to mind is the green, flanked by the church, the Beaufort Arms inn and the ‘Old School Rooms’. But it is believed that the village actually originated where Rock Lane now stands. And this may explain why the Saxon Path starts from this point.
