The Duchess Pond in the Stoke Park estate is used as a fishing lake. Despite its noisy proximity to the motorway it's a nice place to walk and you may see water birds that are otherwise rare in the Bristol area. Look out for reed warblers, reed bunting and Egyptian geese.

Goram in legend was a giant who fought with his brother Vincent for the attentions of Avona. There are many old names around Bristol that relate to this story and features that depict where one of the giants sat, stamped, dug a trench to allow the river Avon to flow or died. Here is Goram's soap dish.

All around a great park with a wheel park, lake, tennis court, basketball court, kids playground and lots of space to explore

A lovely little pond on the Stoke Park Estate, this would be a tranquil spot were it not for the nearby M32. Nevertheless, it's a pleasant spot both in terms of its scenery and its wildlife. The pond supports bird species such as reed warbler and reed bunting and is also used for angling.

Just cautious and considerate of walkers, dogs, children... Nice scenic path though

Part of Bristol City’s parks and estates so considerate cycling is welcomed. Tarmac surface for most of the riverside route, but it does get very busy at peak times so bring your dog-dodging A-game.

Going down the steep tracks are fun but make sure you know the line to take as you can get wheel caught in foot or rabbit hole.

Hold left through woods to exit 10 o'clock here (right tracks are blocked.)
