10:00 2 Boot Leigh Woods, Abbot’s Pool, Ashton Court (20s & 30s Walk)

Event Date: Sun 17 December 2023
Event Time: 10:00

This walk is in the past.

This is a local ramble with some classic Bristol sights and a finish at a pub somewhere in Clifton to warm up after some likely Wintery weather!

We'll pop across the Suspension Bridge, go through Leigh Woods, up to Abbots Leigh and Abbots Pool, and return though Ashton Court to Clifton, with some excellent views of the setting sun if we're late enough!

Bring packed lunch, and I'd recommend a thermos of something warming.

Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.

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.
