Overview

A pleasant, circular walk starting by the River Avon at Sea Mills, walking up through the woods to Blaise Castle Estate and up onto Kingsweston Down. We'll descend through Shirehampton Park and return, hopefully, if it's been dry, along the Severn Way alongside the River Avon. If it's been wet we'll return through the 'garden city' suburb of Sea Mills itself.
