Activities

Poets’ Walk is a little over a mile in length but the area includes a wealth of features, including limestone grassland, woodland, a rich diversity of wildlife, an Iron Age fort, Second World War shelter, and stunning views across the Bristol Channel. The site is managed by North Somerset Council with help from the Friends of Poets’ Walk volunteer group and, thanks to their hard work, some old footpaths have recently been opened up. Poets’ Walk is a tranquil route around Church Hill and Wain’s Hill.

Barrow Gurney is a pretty village close to Barrow tanks, three artificial reservoirs which supply drinking water for Bristol. Public footpaths near the tanks have recently been restored and stiles have been replaced with kissing gates so access to this area is now easier.
