브리스톨‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 천연기념물

Penpole Point is a stone sundial standing at 67m on the western end of the hill. It marks the end of the Kings Weston estate. There used to be great views from here but in recent years it's become overgrown. Still a nice place to sit and enjoy a break from your walk.

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.

Goram's Chair is a stunning viewpoint for Henbury Gorge. Hidden away on one of the Blaise Castle Estate's quieter trails, a path leads to a narrow platform that juts out into the gorge on the top of a limestone crag. With trees full of birdsong everywhere you look, it's hard to believe you’re still in Bristol. Folklore has it that Goram was a giant who created Henbury Gorge in order to win over a beautiful woman named Avona. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain, as his brother and love rival Vincent trumped him, creating the grander Avon Gorge.

This nature reserve is one of the last remaining fragments of the marshes which used to stretch from Blaise Castle to Avonmouth as part of the North Somerset Levels. The network of wet meadows and reed beds is extremely rich in wildlife. Keep a look-out for birds including reed bunting, snipe, and reed and sedge warbler. You can also observe frogs, insects and water voles.

St Anne’s Wood is a magical, peaceful and little-known woodland tucked away near Brislington. A brook flows through the middle of the steep-sided woodland, which is alive with wildlife and nature. In the valley, there is a small meadow that contains St Anne’s Well, a Holy well that pilgrims once travelled to.

By the side of the path - next to a the monument - some lovely ironwork as well.

Troopers Hill Nature Reserve affords breathtaking views over Bristol and the River Avon. The chimney on top of the hill was used for copper smelting in the 18th century. In the 19th century, coal and fireclay were mined from the hill. These days, the hillside boasts a wonderful mix of wildflowers, wildlife, and history. The park, which has won the Green Flag Award every year since 2007, is a great place for relaxation and recreation.

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.
