Troopers Hill Chimney

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Pond in St George’s Park

Highlight • Lake

St George’s Park is a beautiful Victorian park in East Bristol. With a picturesque pond at its centre, big areas of grass, many species of trees, a community vegetable patch, skate park, playground, bowls lawn, tennis courts, and more, it is a wonderful place for people to come together. There are some great events in the park, too, including Redfest music festival, markets and many other community activities.

St Peter's Church and Sensory Herb Garden, Castle Park

Highlight • Historical Site

Castle Park is a large area of green space in the heart of Bristol, right next to the River Avon. A vibrant place at all times of year, the park really springs to life in summer, when impromptu music, games, barbeques, gatherings and festivities create a wonderful atmosphere.

At the centre of the park is St Peter's Church and a sensory herb garden. Opened in 1978, the park is located in what used to be Bristol's main shopping district, an area which was destroyed during the Blitz.

Highlight • Monument

A great view over Bristol and surroundings from the top of the tower. Coming here around sunset is especially nice. Don’t forget to plan some time for a walk in the quiet park around it.
