Fantastic reed beds, great wildlife habitat

This is the "South Pools" wildlife hide. It is so peaceful, they have a useful board in the hide, too! I would recommend bringing binoculars to view the wildlife more closely!

An adventurous path through high hedges leads to this lighthouse. A bank is nearby, making it ideal for a break.

This is a popular spot for dog walkers, with stunning views overlooking the Bristol Channel towards Wales. The headland is an open grassy space with craggy rocks leading down to the water and Portishead Point Lighthouse at the tip. The sloped grass has plenty of benches around for you and your pup to chill and take in the view, it’s particularly beautiful at sunset. A short walk away is East Wood, a small, coastal woodland habitat which supports a huge range of wildlife.

Prior's Wood is a wonderful area of ancient woodland. There are streams that run through the woodland and in spring the floor is carpeted with bluebells. The loop of paths around the wood creates an obvious short walk or link it with nearby Birch wood for a longer stroll. Be warned though, the paths get very muddy and slippery in the winter.

Great atmosphere, very shaded patch of woods but a difficult path. The path from here to Portbury is very steep with massive roots underfoot, so go carefully downhill. Strongly recommend avoiding if it's muddy.

The bad state and fencing really disturbs the view, which could be quite idyllic otherwise.

The light was first lit on 19 April 1894.[6] Up until World War II the lighthouse was lit by gas, supplied from the gas main and stored in adjacent tanks.[3] To begin with it displayed an occulting light (eclipsed twice in quick succession every twenty seconds) with a visible range of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi).[7] The rotating optic was installed in 1908 when the light characteristic was changed to group flashing (twice every ten seconds).[8] Its drive mechanism was wound daily by the Ashford Family, on whose land it was built, until 1941 when the light was converted to automatic electric operation.[3] In 2000 the winding and drive mechanisms were replaced by electric motors.[9] From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Nore_Lighthouse
