18:30 1 Boot Prior’s Wood Bluebell Walk (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Wed 29 April 2026
Event Time: 18:30

 

This walk is in the past.

4.5 to 5 mile evening walking starting at 18.30 outside the Priory Pub in Portbury.

Walk heads into Prior's wood to see the spring time displays of bluebells, we then continue uphill 2 by 2 and skirt the edges of Noah's Ark for possible glimpses of animals. Returning back to the pub on different paths for a swift drink if members so wish.

As this is an evening walk and daylight will be fading the pace of this walk will be brisker at around 3 mph.

Please bring a head torch just in case.

Paths may be muddy so wear suitable footwear and bring clothing suitable for different weather conditions.

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.
