PLACE TO EXPLORE: Walk the woodlands at Ashton Court

Sarah Pitt, Chair of CPRE Avon and Bristol, recommends the woodland walks at Ashton Court Estate on the edge of Bristol.

Wildflower meadows, ponds and veteran trees sit alongside a deer park and a large historic mansion, all within easy reach of the city. Sarah calls the meadows and woodland here ‘hidden gems’, easy to miss for anyone who doesn’t know to look.
