9 miles approximately
From St Mary Redcliffe we walk along the chocolate path, up through Ashton Court, around the back of the deer park and to the cafe at the golf range for loos and tea break, we then head to Leigh woods, loop around Paradise Bottom and stop at a picnic area for lunch which now has a place to get drinks and snacks, down through Nightingale Valley, along the Avon and harbour, back to the Seven Stars pub for drinks and live folk music or the start point which is very close.
Plenty of hills and mud, walking boots a must.
Bring a packed lunch. Pub to finish.
Walk Leaders: Vaughan C ( (Phone number removed) )
Meet: 10.00 at St. Mary Redcliffe. Please meet on the steps of the church at the main entrance.
How do I join the walk?
Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.
On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?
We provide a full recommended kit list here. Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.
Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot. Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
