10:30 1 Boot Blaise Castle and Kings Weston House (Joint Walk)
Event Date: Sun 19 January 2020
Event Time: 10:30
This walk is in the past.
A walk from Blaise Castle Estate, including Blaise Castle, Kings Weston House and Penpole Point.
We go from the car park to Blaise Castle. Then following the River Trym almost to Portway. Skimming the edge of a golf course we then go to Penpole Point and Penpole Wood, before passing Kings Weston House. Up Kings Weston Hill and back to the cars.
Despite being in the centre of Bristol, this walk is almost entirely off roads with a surprisingly rural feel.
As this walk is in Bristol we will be meeting at the walk start point. For those travelling by public transport buses 1, 2, 3 and 4 (and possibly others) all go close to the start point - just check which is the quickest for you as some take circuitous routes. For those in cars there is a reasonably large, free car park at the meet point.
Bring packed lunch.

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.
