March 31, 2024,The Big Trees – Failand Woods loop from Long Ashton

The start of this trail has no parking anywhere nearby. We had to drive to Failand, where there is a car park, and do the same walk but starting the loop half way round!

March 4, 2024,The Big Trees – Ashton Hill Plantation (easy, all terrain pram friendly, toddler and carrier walk)

A lovely short loop around the woodland, some pig puddles at this time of the year (so all terrain pram which you don't mind getting dirty).

Starting point: Ashton Hill wood car park

Getting there: driving

Parking: free small carpark (8/10 cars)

February 17, 2024,Ashton Hill circular walk

Ashton Hill in Bristol was a scenic walk, even in February!

This circular walk has a pathway, but be mindful this muddy and water logged in places.

We walked through the woodlands, following the winding path, until we returned to our originally starting location.
