The Parks Greenway Follow the green corridor of parks and valleys leading all the way from Cheswick Village through the Stoke Park Estate, under the M32 and to the historic Snuff Mills. If you’re keen to go further you can follow the River Frome all the way along to Eastville Park in Fishponds.

The Gloucester Road rambler Give parking the car a miss and walk (at least one way!) to the vibrant Gloucester Road shopping district along this quietway of traffic-free paths and quiet residential streets.

CYCLINGOn the map we have highlighted some of the local attractions that have lots of cycle parking available, but across the area there are lots of places to park your bike – the vast majority of local attractions, green spaces, amenities and schools have convenient cycle parking and lots more is being added all the time.

1 Elm ParkElm Park features a community garden, boules court, cycle speedway and skateboard park. Many mature trees line the park, which also boasts an orchard, rose garden, owl sculpture, and the elm tree from which the park takes its name.

2 Northville Millennium GreenPopular with walkers and dog owners alike, this park in Filton is a great place to enjoy a peaceful walk as it is relatively flat. There are plenty of paths, and lots of open space for dogs to run around.

3 Splatts Abbey WoodComprising just under 5 acres of woodland, Splatts Abbey wood is located between the Ministry of Defence and the Hewlett Packard Offices. The wood is maintained by local conservation groups (with links to Wallscourt Farm Academy) and students from the nearby University of the West of England. Why not take a walk to explore this beautiful historic woodland nestled on your doorstep?

4 Cheswick Village Centre The Village Centre is at the heart of Cheswick Village and provides residents with all the essential local amenities including groceries, shops and cafes. Situated just off Long Down Avenue, the large pedestrianised square with trees and benches is a great quiet space to meet your neighbours and watch Cheswick life go by.

5 Horfield park & skate parkHorfield skatepark is a big concrete skatepark with nice smooth surfaces comprised of both a street section and a transition section. The park is a favourite amongst the locals, and is floodlit for night-time skating.

6 Horfield CommonTucked away in the quiet suburbs of North Bristol, Horfield Common features two dog-free play areas, tennis courts, a bowling green, a community café, and the much-loved Ardagh, a large community, leisure, and sports centre. The Ardagh is run by local volunteers, and reinvests its profits back into the centre and wider Horfield Common area, running a wide range of groups, activities and events for local people of all age ranges. Take a stroll to see the wildlife pond, or don your running shoes and follow the marked routes of 500km, 1km, and 5km.

7 Gloucester Road shopsGloucester road is Bristol’s bohemian capital, packed full of quirky independent shops, trendy bars, and great places to eat. Here, you’ll find vintage fashion, pre-loved furniture, organic produce, and lots of live music and art. A Great British High Street finalist, locals say that you can buy anything you ever need here. A great place to spend a Saturday morning when many cafes run street food stalls outside – though you could easily lose an entire day here.

8 Muller Road recreation groundMuller Road recreation ground is mostly used by students of Fairfield High School, however, the site is also open to the public with a footpath around the perimeter for walking, cycling, and scootering.

9 Stoke Park EstateExplore open grassland, semi-ancient woodland, and shaded groves with a wealth of historic features and stunning views. Stoke Park estate boasts one of the most prominent landmarks in Bristol, the ochre-coloured Dower House. Now privately owned, Dower House was used as part of Stoke Park hospital from 1909, to 1988. The estate, which also contains the prominent Purdown BT Tower, has a fishing lake and a number of Grade II listed features dotted around for you to explore. There is no dedicated car park, but the estate is easily accessible by bike or on foot and there are a number of places to park nearby.
