A lovely huge patch of daffs in Spring. No path, just green grass: avoid if muddy!

The location of a manor house ever since the 11th century, Ashton Court and its extensive estate is a grand setting to the west of Bristol. Owned by the Smyth family between the 16th and 20th centuries, today the mansion and its stables are Grade I-listed. The surrounding estate includes a deer park, woodland, MTB trails and golfing facilities and is an absolute delight to explore, rewarding with fine views across Bristol. After a run in the parkland, the Courtyard Cafe is a tempting option.

Popular with walkers, cyclists and runners, the Pill Path follows the Avon from the city out to the village of Pill, near where the river empties into the Severn Estuary. The running is great fun on a gently undulating trail. There are superb views of Clifton Suspension Bridge and the cliffs of the Avon Gorge.
