Eastwood Farm Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Eastwood Farm is a slice of rural idyll within the city limits. With pretty water meadows and majestic woodlands, the nature reserve is a brilliant place for relaxation and exploration. When the summer sun shines, many people swim in the Avon here.

There is lots of wildlife to observe too, including swans, kingfishers, coots, buzzards, squirrels, herons, mallards, moorhens, and more. To get to this side of the river, Beese's Riverside Bar runs a boat service across for £1 during their summer opening. Alternatively, you would need to cross St Anne’s Bridge and head towards Brislington.

Nightingale Valley

Highlight • Trail

Nightingale Valley is a hidden gem in this part of Bristol. The area is composed of mixed woodland and small fields with the Brislington Brook flowing through its heart. There are lots of trails to explore in the valley bottom and along its steep sides. Nearby St Anne’s Wood makes for a great extension if you are exploring.

St Anne's Wood

Highlight • Natural

St Anne’s Wood is a little woodland with a peaceful atmosphere. A brook flows through the middle of the park, which is alive with wildlife and nature. In the valley bottom, there is a small meadow that contains St Anne’s Well, a Holy well that pilgrims once visited.

Beese's Riverside Bar & Garden

Highlight • River

Hailed as Bristol's best-kept secret, Beese's is a wonderful riverside bar with a large, charismatic and sunny beer garden overlooking the Avon. It’s something of a Bristol institution. The bar opens from spring to late summer every year and serves good food and drink. You can catch the occasional gig here, too.

Access is via the Conham River Ferry (directly across on the opposite bank) for £1, which travels whenever people need it. Alternatively, you can head round to Eastwood Farm. The large meadow next to Beese’s is the ‘Costa del Bristol’ — a popular wild swimming, sunbathing and picnic spot that is brilliant on a summer afternoon.
