The Bristol & Bath Railway Path was the inaugural section of the National Cycle Network when it opened in 1977. This was another age well before the advent of the mountain or all terrain bike in the UK. Riders obviously cut this corner on their way into the city centre to save a few seconds. I suppose the only answer is to put up some pedestrian guardrail as a deterrent.
