This book brings together 12 short walks – each around 2-4 miles – exploring the many green spaces within the Bristol city boundaries. From wooded valleys and wildflower meadows to reclaimed industrial sites now returned to nature, formal parkland and local nature reserves. Bristol is a city with a wealth of green spaces and you don't need to go far to take a walk in nature. Walking in green spaces has many benefits for health and well-being, and it can also be an enjoyable way of discovering new parts of the city and finding out about its history and wildlife. These walks have been selected for relatively easy walking and accessibility, with options for shortcuts, detours and extensions. As well as detailed walk descriptions and route maps, each walk has accompanying information on local history and heritage, nature notes, plus ideas and activities for families and children to help get the most out of your walk. There are also suggestions for public transport links and nearby car parking, plus ideas for refreshment stops along the way. If you want to immerse yourself in Bristol’s green spaces and discover something new along the way, Bristol Green Walks is the ideal first step.
