Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Greenbank

"Not only does Leigh Woods offer a fantastic walk (especially in the spring when the bluebells are out), but it also has some of the most unique and best views in Bristol. Along the trail from the car park, there’s a signposted viewpoint of Clifton Suspension Bridge. Sometimes the viewpoint is slightly overgrown, which does affect how much of the bridge you’ll see, but that’s just an excuse to come in multiple seasons, right?!"

"Walk across the Clifton Suspension Bridge and you’ll find National Park site Leigh Woods. Perched atop the Avon Gorge, there are impressive views down the river. A great place for a family day out or a spot of dog walking, Leigh Woods hosts regular events among the trees."

"About: Brandon Hill is just a short walk away from the city centre, boasting fantastic views over the city and the iconic harbourside!. With the parks impressive trees that turn to gold in the autumna months it provides the perfect canopy for your autumn Instagram upload. The leaf-drenched floors are a perfect photo opporunity as the deep reds, bright oranges and golden browns inject colour into every camera shot."

Brandon Hill, also known as St Brandon’s Hill, is a hill close to Bristol City center, between the districts of Clifton and Hotwells, in southwest England. This is a nice relaxing area to take the kids for an evening picnic and enjoy the outside world."

"Then strike out from Pulteney Weir across Pulteney Bridge (popping into the odd boutique shop along the way, such as Found, for funky homeware, and The Antique Map Shop) to the Holburne Museum (Great Pulteney Street; 01225 388569), which backs onto Sydney Gardens. The museum houses old masters, porcelain and ornaments. Temporary exhibitions change regularly; next up is a retrospective on George Shaw (Feb 8 - May 6)."

"That was clearly true for Jane Austen, who would find respite from a restless mind and hours of writing in Sydney Gardens. Formerly the Pleasure Gardens, this green space was built behind the Sydney Hotel (now the Holburne Museum), another ‘place to be seen’ in Bath’s special social scene. Stroll or take a picnic among the flowerbeds and look out for a replica of the Temple of Minerva."

"Bringing us onto our next must-see spot, taking a stroll around Bristol Harbour is something everyone should do when visiting the city. With pretty views of the bobbing boats and an abundance of pubs to stop off in for a tipple along the way, this is a great way to spend an afternoon. There’s also a regular market here that’s extremely popular with locals."

"Attractions, events, food and drinks… it is all here at the harbourside!. Along the harbour you will find well-known attractions such as We the Curious, Bristol Aquarium, Bristol Ferry Boats and M Shed. Why not kick-start your day with a stroll along the harbour, taking in the scenic views before diving into exploring the attractions within the area."

"Start your Bristol experience with a trip to Bristol Harbour. The harbour has stood since the 13th century due to its excellent location upon the River Avon. In the past, this was the departure point for ships sailing to the ‘New World’ and a popular arrival destination for Europeans."

"With its famous Georgian terraces, thermal spa waters, cream teas and Jane Austen – you can’t say Bath isn’t on the UK tourist trail. Its quintessentially English charms pull in visitors from around the world and it has so many historic buildings that the entire city has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But although you might have to dodge a few tour groups, its still more than worth it to explore the sights of one of England’s most beautiful and historic cities. So here’s my 48-hour itinerary for spending the perfect weekend in Bath."

"– Once back outside take a different route back via the Georgian Gardens, a small but quaint garden often overlooked. In spring, when I visited the flowers were just starting to peek through the soil. I can imagine it’s a beautiful garden to visit during the summer months in Bath."

"It was around the 40s and 50s that a lot of Caribbean locals traveled to England for the promise of work. Not at all the first, but likely the most famous transatlantic voyage, Windrush, brought 492 young men to our shores. Most were Jamaican, but among them were a few others from surrounding Caribbean islands."

"Self-proclaimed as the ‘smallest pizzeria in the world’, The Pizza Bike is as literal as it gets. Run by Angel (not an angel, although with pizza this good we wouldn’t be surprised), the concept was actually an art installation originally and it slowly evolved to become what it is today. Keeping within the theme, the menu is also small but don’t let that fool you."

"Or should we say ‘Ye olde Pubby Mcdrunkface’ as it is now temporarily known before it changes its name. Address: 24 St Michael’s Hill, Bristol BS2 8DX"

"Straight from Hotel du Vin & Bistro comes the gift of Le Brunch – a combination of classic Sunday roast dishes, mixed with additional French flair. While not cheap, the exciting choice of fresh seafood, crustaceans, charcuterie, pâtés, rillettes and a selection of salads and vegetables, Hotel du Vin is a must try for every seasoned brunch lover. For any foodie, a serving of fantastically prepared French food and additional jazz music is perhaps the perfect way to start the weekend."

"With a secluded courtyard and award-winning bistro, this historic hotel offers luxury rooms with free Wi-Fi. Hotel du Vin Bristol is a 10-minute walk from the vibrant Waterside area. The elegant bedrooms feature Egyptian linen and air conditioning."

"Montpelier boozer The Cadbury has one of the best beer gardens in Bristol, with half of it covered meaning it can be enjoyed no matter the weather. It also serves delicious food and will be resuming al fresco service on April 12 with a full menu to choose from. Expect to find small plates, burgers, a top-notch roast dinner and more, all served in a relaxed atmosphere."

"300-year-old timber-framed pub with a reggae soundtrack, pub games, an open fire and walled garden. Address: 68 Richmond Road, Montpelier, Bristol BS6 5EW"

"Tyntesfield is a stately home located just outside Bristol featuring beautiful gothic-style architecture set amongst gorgeous and peaceful gardens. The home is part of the Tyntesfield estate which is home to flower displays, a lake, and plenty of woodland to get lost in. Begin your journey through Tyntesfield at the house, constructed from 1843 into the current building standing tall on the estate."

"National Trust owned Tyntesfield is a Victorian country house near Bristol. The Grade-I listed building, bought by William Gibbs in the 1830s, exudes a Gothic style and boasts a fascinating collection of over 5,000 antiques and works of art. The outside of the building is just as alluring as the inside, where you can enjoy pleasant strolls in woodland."

"This spectacular National Trust house is surrounded by beautiful grounds, making it a wonderful day out whatever the weather. Explore the history of the house through a “behind the scenes”tour, or just opt to explore a few rooms yourself. But it’s the grounds which the children will enjoy the most."
