3 fantastic walks in Bristol and Bath Willsbridge Mill and Valley is so popular that dog owners head to it from lots of different suburbs of Bristol including Keynsham and Bitton. This circular walk takes you along the Siston Brook and towards the mill, which is from the 18th century and is home to a lovely tea room and ice cream parlour, which are both dog friendly. They do a fantastic cooked breakfast! The mill also has a charming community garden next to it, which is perfect for putting your feet up if you just want to get away from it all. The walk itself is flat in most parts, easy to follow and even has cut throughs down to the brook for paddling hot paws. And the best bit yet is that the walk follows the old Dramway, which was used for carrying coal. You’ll spot various signs and monuments giving you a clue as to the place’s history, which definitely adds interest to your daily dog walk! You may even hear the woodpeckers that are known to frequent this area too! There’s a car park on Long Beach Road, which is free to use and well signposted to and from the Dramway and mill. There’s also space for a few cars right next to the mill, which are reserved for those with disabilities. BONUS! If you walk through the mill’s community garden and along the road for a bit, then it’s also possible to walk across fields and hills within the area of Willsbridge Valley. Here, you can enjoy a circular route from Willsbridge Mill; but this time with epic views across the surrounding countryside!
