Bristol Walk festival is underway, regardless of any coronavirus restrictions that are in place at this current time. Having been cancelled in 2020 because of the pandemic, Bristol Walk Fest - which recently revealed its favourite hiking routes in Bristol - returns between May 1st and 31st. However some of the best-known spots are getting a little over-crowded at times, with so many people keen to embrace the outdoors, we found online some of their favourite alternative walks to do. please remember to adhere to 2 metre distancing advice when bumping in to other walkers, and bear in mind that toilets and refreshments may not be available.

Once home to the last dairy farm within the city’s boundaries, it was briefly used for landfill before being reclaimed by Bristol City Council and protected as a Local Nature Reserve. As well as stunning views of and across the river, there’s the chance to explore ancient woodlands, water meadows, a lagoon and a pond. Look out especially for herons, woodpeckers, swans, newts and a rich range of wildflowers. Access is off Whitmore Road, BS4 4UD. More information can be found on its website.
