East Harptree Woods managed by Forestry England has been designed and managed with wildlife in mind with a wide ride (open, tree-free space) to link areas
of natural vegetation. The area was once important for lead and zinc mining, and the undulating terrain, known as ‘gruffy ground’, indicates old pits and spoil heaps. Much of the ore was processed and smelted at this site and you can see the restored Smitham Chimney. There is an easy going trail through the woods that is suitable for all users including wheelchairs and prams.

Glorious little wood with wild paths cross-crossing through the trees - and close to Bristol
