락솔과 페일랜드 주변 최고의 러닝 경로

Great for hill training. Wear trail shoes & watch out for the rock steps when it’s wet!

It's a dead end path but lovely view of the Avon from the Grotto - a little shelter

There's some really big fish in these!

Flat gravel path which is perfect for running away from the cars

The location of a manor house ever since the 11th century, Ashton Court and its extensive estate is a grand setting to the west of Bristol. Owned by the Smyth family between the 16th and 20th centuries, today the mansion and its stables are Grade I-listed. The surrounding estate includes a deer park, woodland, MTB trails and golfing facilities and is an absolute delight to explore, rewarding with fine views across Bristol. After a run in the parkland, the Courtyard Cafe is a tempting option.

Popular with walkers, cyclists and runners, the Pill Path follows the Avon from the city out to the village of Pill, near where the river empties into the Severn Estuary. The running is great fun on a gently undulating trail. There are superb views of Clifton Suspension Bridge and the cliffs of the Avon Gorge.

This is a super fun downhill section that takes you from the North Road entrance to Leigh Woods down to the Pill Path. The descent is gradual to begin with and becomes increasingly steep beyond a set of steps. The way the path weaves and undulates makes it a pleasure to run. Of course, it also makes for a great challenge when running back up.

Stop for a rest at this peaceful pond at the bottom of the lane, but watch out for the electric fence!

great views really recommend

Abbotts Pool is a lovely little lake surrounded by woodland. You reach the lake via a network of lanes and bridleways. It lies on the NCN Route 334. The pools were closed in 2020 due to littering and anti-social behaviour. Makes sure you leave no trace so that humans can enjoy the beautiful spot alongside its wildlife.

Makes a great stop point on a run or walk through the woods. Don't leave your rubbish!

Abbots Pool is a tranquil pond nestled within an idyllic mature woodland. The pond was originally part of a series of pools developed by medieval monks to farm fish. Due to some antisocial behaviour at the pond, activities such as swimming and barbecues have been banned. However, there are still lots of beautiful trails to explore in this nature reserve, which is home to much wildlife including deer, bats and birds.

Small water feature at the edge of the pond, there are steps leading down to the left where you can get an alternative view, along with a bench for a spot of lunch

A short section across fields into woodland. After a steep uphill to the east you get picturesque views over Somerset towards the docks, before descending down to meet Failand Lane. Marks part of the Gordano Round's northern section.

Please note the pool is currently closed to walkers and swimmers.

Feels really peaceful here. Having descended Chapel Pill lane its a nice place to stop and watch people fishing.

Good spot to stop for a snack!

July 2020 - Abbots pool is currently closed to all 'until further notice' as a part of continuing Covid19 restriction. Will edit this once open again.

Nice smooth gravel track down past the pond, with off piste single track near by. Watch out for walkers!
