Castle Park is a large area of green space in the heart of Bristol, right next to the River Avon. A vibrant place at all times of year, the park really springs to life in summer, when impromptu music, games, barbeques, gatherings and festivities create a wonderful atmosphere.

At the centre of the park is St Peter's Church and a sensory herb garden. Opened in 1978, the park is located in what used to be Bristol's main shopping district, an area which was destroyed during the Blitz.
