Overview

A circular walk starting from the Clifton end of the Suspension Bridge. The route passes through the National Trust's Leigh Woods and the village of Abbots Leigh. On a clear day, the Welsh hills can be seen across the Severn Estuary. Beyond Abbots Leigh lies Abbots Pool, a serene pool in a beautiful wooded location. In May, it will be bursting with new leaf and birdsong. After pausing by the pool, we will return to Clifton via the wide open spaces of the Ashton Court Estate.
