Leigh Woods is a nice place for a peaceful walk. The woodland is large, with well-marked paths that are easy to follow. We had a pleasant time walking through the woods, following the trail alongside the River Avon towards Clifton Suspension Bridge. It's a relaxing route with some lovely views along the way. The car park is spacious, and it's convenient that you can pay for parking using the RingGo app. A whole day ticket cost £5.50. A few reviews mentioned the poor mobile reception, but that wasn't our experience at all. We had a good phone signal throughout the walk.
Took our dog here for a walk and he loved it just as much as we did! Absolutely amazing, serene and calm
There are some good circular walks around through the woods, if combined with the pill footpath at the bottom. Small grotto, pools, yer tiz cycle track, old settlement earthen ramparts. Good parking. Easy walking distance from Clifton. If you park in the A369 lay-by at the western end, you can take in Abbots Pool too.
This park offers easy hikes along the Avon River and then meanders into the surrounding naturescape. The initial hike was very easy on flat ground, then we took an upward trail taking us to the top of the gorge bridge. The trail was well maintained and easy to follow. It was a bit strenuous but totally worth the hike!
Never made to the wood, to be fair...but did make it the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. What an event! Motorbike display team, police dog (land sharks) going through their paces, model aerobatic aircraft & of course the balloons. I estimate 50 for the Mass Ascent. Incredible!!
