This walk is in the past.

This walk is being run with a booking system.

This is an easy two boot. This will involve some road walking and crossing the Portway about three times. There is one steep climb half way and a shorter steep climb (500m ascent in total) towards the end of the walk. There are some narrow paths and some sections of the walk will be retraced on the return journey.

We will walk along the road to Bishop's Knoll, from there we will walk to Sneyd Park and the Duck Pond (please research in advance about the best food for ducks). From there we will walk through the nature reserve and cross the Portway to walk along the Avon to Shirehampton and then Coombe Dingle, walking by the River Trym. We will then walk from there to Great Kings Western and hopefully a cafe opportunity. We will make our way back to the River Avon by walking along a right of way through the Shirehampton Golf Course, via Phippers Park Underbridge. We will then make most of our way back via the River Avon. Finally we will cross the Portway a last time to rejoin Bishops Knoll via a different path and Prinkards Underbridge and then head back to the finish and cafe.

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,
