This walk follows the probable route Francis Fox Tuckett took to work each day from Frenchay to Baldwin Street in Bristol. He was a 19th century pioneering mountaineer who lived in Frenchay all his life. He walked to keep himself fit for his mountaineering. The walk starts at the Frenchay Village Museum and descends to the River Frome. It then follows the Frome Valley Walkway for much of the route. Most of the walk is on good paths and pavements although there are some muddy sections requiring boots. We emerge into Castle Park and the Bristol Bridge. Frome there the walks continues up Baldwin Street to The Centre where we will take a Metrobus to Begbrook which takes just over 10 minutes. (Please bring your bus pass or tap on tap off with a credit Card for £2.60.) From Begbrook we continue the walk through Begbrook Park to return to the Museum.

Frenchay Village Museum. There is a free car park next to the Museum. If you are travelling from the Ring Road, follow the Bristol Road from the Hambrook lights for about half a mile to reach a mini roundabout. Take the first exit to a yellow gateway on your right which is the entrance to the car park.
