CLUE: The Fox plays tricks, look for those who are not true.

The boat does no longer run.

After a run along the river, Beese's Riverside Bar is a charming and tempting option. This Bristol institution is accessed via a ferry crossing and has a large beer garden that overlooks the river. Open from spring to late summer, the bar serves great food too. At the time of writing (August 2022) the ferry crossing is temporarily closed. Let's hope it resumes soon, as it's an important link between Conham River Park and the beauty spots on the south bank of the Avon here.

Conham River Park has breathtaking beauty around every corner. The woodland and river is home to lots of wildlife; herons can regularly be observed, bats can be seen at dusk, water voles can be spotted, and many bird species inhabit the area. Alongside the Avon is a Local Nature Reserve composed of three maturing broadleaved woodlands. There are lots of places to relax, as well as swimming spots and many trails to explore. It can get busy at times, especially hot summer days, but it’s easy to see why. A wonderful escape from the city! You can follow the riverside path (albeit with a couple of crossings) all the way to Bath, which makes for a wonderful walk or jog.

The trees on the opposite side of the river are used by nesting grey herons every year. The prehistoric-looking birds have been using this site as a ‘heronry’ for a number of years now. Herons arrive in February and typically lay their eggs in the same nests each year, which hatch between March and April. The best time to observe the birds is in April, when nests are still visible before they become obscured by tree leaves.

Plenty of stopping points to go for a swim in the river. Try not to swallow any water, my friend was ill not too long ago from swallowing the water.

You will need to use the boat to cross the water. Call the number on the sign to see when they are running. Kids, bike and Pram friendly. 50p per person/bike.
