12:15 2 Boot Wraxall to Clevedon via Prior’s Wood and Cadbury Camp (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Sat 29 August 2026
Event Time: 12:15

 

This walk is in the past.

Catch the 11:49 X9 bus from Bristol bus station, arriving 12:15 at The Grove bus stop in Wraxall. I will meet you at the bus stop. Note that there is no parking around the bus stop; if you wish to drive, contact me and we can arrange to meet in Nailsea prior to walk the 3km or so to the start.

We'll start by climbing the hill with views of Tyntesfield, making our way over Prior's Wood near Portbury. From there we'll walk towards Clevedon via Cadbury Camp lane (undoubtedly taking a little peek at some extravagant houses along the way...) and Cadbury Camp hill fort.

This is a late starting walk so make sure you've had a good breakfast beforehand - there are a couple of good spots for extended breaks but these will be at roughly 2:30pm and 4pm.

We'll reach Clevedon Fish Bar around 6pm, pick up some fish and chips, and make our way to the seafront to eat. For those who wish to, there is Clevedon Marine Lake where you can swim, and The Salthouse pub which has a great view of the seafront.

The X6 bus back from Clevedon to Bristol is hourly, with the final bus back to Bristol at 9:38pm. For anyone coming back to Nailsea, the A2 airport flyer is also hourly (inc. through the night so you can really party it up in Clevedon - NB this bus stop is 2km from the Marine Lake)

The weather may well be very hot; if so, bring sun cream and plenty of water.

This is the route we will take: https://www.routeyou.com/en/route/view/17573958 (note that the length is an underestimate, and it's another 1km to the seafront after we reach the fish bar)

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.
