Explore woodland, grasslands and a scenic pond with accessible paths perfect for families and all abilities.

Warmley Forest Park is a sprawling woodland area featuring diverse habitats including woodlands, hedgerows, open grasslands, Siston Brook and a large pond. The park was developed on the site of a former clay quarry, with visible earth banks and historical ponds serving as reminders of its industrial past. Families can enjoy accessible main paths suitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs, making it welcoming for visitors of all ages and abilities. The park is rich in wildlife, hosting a variety of bird species including bullfinch, chiffchaff, song thrush, and winter visitors like redwing and fieldfare. The pond and surrounding areas are home to dragonflies, damselflies, common frogs and toads. For those interested in exploration and navigation, a permanent orienteering trail adds an interactive element to visits. Facilities include parking on Station Close, cycle racks, toilets in the car park, and the Warmley Waiting Room café for refreshments. The site is easily accessible via bus services and is located near the Bristol and Bath Railway Path. Community groups including Warmley Signal Box and Gardens and Friends of Siston Commons organise regular events and practical work days, creating opportunities for visitors to engage with the park's conservation.

Amazing, open space easy to access! Perfect for walking the dog or just for a quiet, calm walk on your own

Nice dog walking place, on summers evening maybe ok. I did however see the content of at least five wallets or purses dumped into the stream which tells me it could be a not so reputable area at certain times.

Been a while since I've come to Warmley park. A bit muddy due to the weather but it was still walkable even without wellies on. It's a nice walk in the winter and summer to get some air. The car park fills up quick but the 43 bus stop is only across the road opposite the cafe (which sells some lovely drinks and food with seating)
