Bristol to Bath cyclepath questions

Hi,
Sorry if this isn't the best place for these questions but thought you guys might be the best ppl to ask,
I'm interested in using this cycle path (for fun rather than commuting) and was wondering:
If there are any train stations near to access points en route. (Im neither in Bristol, nor bath, but nearish)
Is it suitable for a very Novice Novice (never done any hills on a bike really, biggest climb thus far has been about 96ft and my commute averages 164ft over 1.4 miles - so my app tells me, also longest ride so far has prob been 10 miles)
Is it safe i.e. from crime.
Hoping to try this (or at least part of it) when Summer eventually gets itself here.
Thanks,
C

As a novice you should be OK on the path, I was 30+ years ago when the path first ran from Bitton to Bath.
I live out near Midsomer Norton and use it from Saltford in to Bristol on my commute. No real hills around there, only false flats. Never felt a problem safety wise, apart from risking hypothermia in recent temperatures... brrr..
As previously alluded to, I can't imagine riding it for pleasure, there are a lot of nicer places to ride in my view.
Pleasure riding is usually fine and while it might be boring to some there is something appealing about being able to relax, not worry about traffic and just cruise along sometimes which is when I usually ride it.
