We are the Bristol Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
From cafe route across the Downs, passed St Monica’s, along footpaths and minor roads, picking up Hollybush Lane, and on to Sea Mills. Returning along the River Avon towpath, which will be muddy, with a steep climb through Bishops Knoll Nature Reserve back up to the Downs. Muddy in places. Great views from the river across the Avon Gorge, and from the Downs.
