We are the Bristol Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We walk across the Downs and through Sneyd Park to Bishops Knoll, the site of a wartime hospital We descend to the railway line, walking between it and the Portway, passing the wicker whales. We walk through Sneyd Park Nature Reserve to Sea Mills, where we have a short refreshment break by the River Trym. We follow the path along the River Avon for a short way then walk through Shirehampton Park, before crossing the Portway and walking along the edge of the golf course to arrive at Sea Mills Church. From there, we cross the Trym before beginning our gradual ascent through Sneyd Park and back to the Downs.
This walk is on a mixture of surfaced and unsurfaced paths. Depending on weather conditions, paths could be very muddy.
Please bring a drink and snack for mid-walk break.
