Reviews of Badock's Wood

t. t. g.

Cannot believe how much has changed in this park last time I was there was 30 years ago and it was a dump bag then it's a lot nicer now could do it some more benches.

L. K.

A beautiful place to walk, some paved walks, other areas to walk which can be muddy, a stream runs through the wood with small waterfalls dotted along it.

C. H.

Lovely little walk in the woods today. Will definitely go back work a picnic

A. K.

Perfect place for a dog walk, especially if your pet loves running through water. Few hot spots for a picnic and few ball games with the kids... Just watch out for four legged ⚽ lovers 😂😂😂

M. C. m.

Brilliant for water dog's, plenty off squirrels for good fun walk,

J. F.

An awesome nature reserve that is dog friendly. You can let them off leash.

J. W.

Nice bit of woodland. Brook feels quite dirty and has hallmarks of its industrial and urban past. Hope you like dogs, it can feel over run at times.

A. M.

One of the Best places in Bristol to have a lovely walk! With sculptures in wood and a sweet little river!

A. V.

Lots of options for short/long walk by the river in the woods with a few benches and some fallen tree carvings by the very talented local chainsaw artist Andy O'Neill. Recommend if you have children with you that you wear wellies, the river is mostly shallow enough to splash in. There's a bronze age burial mound with a silver landmark off to the right if you enter via the Doncaster Rd entrance, and a good children's play area (Doncaster Road Park) on the other side of the road and a cafe at the Greenway Centre up the road.

T. S.

A nice wood it has both paths in the woods and an open green space with other mud paths down the side. Most of the wood is accessible by any sort of bike so good for kids.

C. D.

From Henleaze to Southmead a country walk in the middle of the city. Lovely river and wood engravings . Lots of birds whistling. Mainly dog walkers but all welcome . Good for steppers

P. T.

What a great outdoor space. Tucked away amongst a load of houses, it's taken us having a dog to really discover this place. We tend to walk by the stream. There are other parts to the place and it's generally well kept. The wild garlic smell is lovely at this time of year (early spring) Most dog walkers pick up after their hounds. Need more bins though.

p. i.

Very nice place to visit you wouldn't know you where in the city of Bristol. Very calm place. everyone walking dogs and visiting their where pleasant and chatty.

T. B.

Great place to take the dogs! Beautiful area just be prepared to bring your wellies if its been raining and you don't want to stick to the main path!😁👍🏻

J. *.

It's a nice calm place and full of natural plants and rivers

V. &. S. W.

Beautiful nature oasis in suburbia. Brooks, forest, meadows - great for exploring with kids as well as dogs

K. B.

Lovely place for a walk with the dog. Quiet and peaceful.

M. L.

Lovely little hidden gem - a sweet little wander for an hour or so. Great for little ones - compact, manageable, but big enough to offer mystery and hiding places. I'd have given it 5 stars, but, like a lot of us, it's a little tired and in need of a bit of post covid love. It's a 4.5 star gig. Don't let me fussing over a few rotten benches and a couple of downed trees put you off.

C. S.

Pretty place in the middle of a resident area. When the river is deep it's fun to wade in, rope swings have been set up and there are some lovely tree carvings. Can get busy, lots of dogs but a fun place for a cute walk.

A. E.

Love taking the dog here. Very safe off lead too!

C. J.

Great place to walk the dog. I do have mobility problems but am able to manage okay. Some more seating would be very welcome though.

c. d.

Good place for a dog walk but don't let dogs in the water its a bit smelly in some places

D. M.

A brilliant place for walking the dog… take a towel to dry them off afterwards lol

C. T.

Nice little walk and stream for kids to float their paper boats

C. C.

Lovely but muddy in autumn and winter. Great for my dogs. Best to go early to avoid too many people. Make sure you keep eyes on your dogs as there was an attempt last year 2019 to steal someone's pet. Quite a short walk and mostly pretty level.

O.

Beautiful little walk, can do all the different routes through the whole forrest path in an hour or two. beautiful spot! There's a nice little shaded fern area by the stream too, nice for a date.

C. H.

Only fifteen minutes walk from Southmead Hospital, very calming. Wide smooth accessible concrete path as well as more woodland paths

D. K.

Wild nature, not overcrowded, cool in summer.

J. H.

Perfect walk through a hidden gem. Ideal for summer strolls and dog walks

F. L.

Fantastic woods with a stream flowing through. You would not believe that this place could existing in the middle of the city behind rows of houses. A magical walk for the kids with lots of things to see for curious young minds. Great outdoors for a quick walk and very popular with dog walkers.

M. U.

Can be quite dingy in winter, but gorgeous park with a lovely natural playground. Beautiful stream through it.

M. W.

Good place to family walking.

G. P.

Nice for a quick get-out-of-the-house walk. Not very big 1km round walk plus a couple of small paths. Very pleasant in the late winter sunshine. Great for younger (5-11) children to explore and hide. Mostly safe, but some unfenced shallow water areas

D. P.

Beautiful ancient woodland and stream, great for walks, exercise, dog walking, dam building etc

N. W.

Lovely place, singing birds. Little springs.

M. B.

Excellent place for walking dog and exercising to keep fit. Good field space and lots of wooded paths. It's bigger than you envisage on first visit. Lots of wild life and birds etc. Can be quite peaceful but excellent for family day out.

P. D. C.

Nice park, with a lots of birds. Too bad that dogs without leashes make them fly away.

O. V.

Beautiful woods for a small walk.

C. C.

Spent a lot of money on not very much food. They did cater for my son's request of crab on his pizza. Which is not on the children's menu. I had thr gluten free fish and chios. The chips appeared to be basic frozen chips. The batter was lovely and crispy but no salt and vinegar was provided apparently they don't have it for take out. 🤔. I'm.not sure we would go again. It was very busy though, so I'm sure there are some star dishes.

E. B.

I totally love this placeas do the dogs

M. H.

Great place to take the kids for a walk. Some interesting paths and streams to wade through. Wellies recommend for anything off the beaten path but should be fine for prams if you keep to the paths.

D. B.

My dog said, "lots of great sniffs and fun muddy bits especially the stream which is nice to stand in when I'm staring at you. And sticks, lots of sticks. Where's the stick? I don't know, let me look". One of the best dog toilets in Bristol

R. C.

Great place for dog walking, well kept, lovely stream running through. Fab way to spend the morning with kids and dog

M. T.

Plenty of paths . Trails and fields to explore. Stream . Picnic areas many species of trees. Popular with dog walkers

E. B.

Have been walking in Badock for many years and love it. Sometimes it can get too busy but as I'm a regular dog walker I tend to walk at about 6.00 am.

E. T.

Lovely spot.

N. M.

Lovely little walk with streams to play in for kids.

J. P.

One of my favourite wood walks in Bristol. There's several sedate streams that meet up in the wooded area, which the kids love and so does the dog. There's a few wood sculptures carved into fallen trees, which is nice. There's also a field area if you're I to that sort of thing (I don't judge). No playground or anything like that but for a little wander around with the family it's lovely no matter what the weather is doing. A point off mainly because there seems to be a bit of a problem with people cleaning up after their dog. It pays to watch where you tread.

L. B.

Lovely little woodland. Very busy over lockdowns! In need of funds to repair paths and create more wild life areas, but a great park

A. A.

Use this 7 days a week as I live 5 min away. The grandchildren love it cause of the water. And I get to walk my dog in a pleasant wood. And you can make friends with other people with dogs

K. G.

Beautiful woodland to walk your dog and children love it too. Wear wellies because it's impossible not to at least try to cross the stream once.. Measured 1k walk (or run) for those looking to exercise.

P. M.

Very nice walk with the pooch. Although squirrels abound so if your furry friend is a fan, they will get more exercise than you, and will get wet. (Which if you play your cards right and get them to go in at end of walk can be helpful to wash off any mud!) :)

C. A.

Peaceful woodland area with Riverside walks. Popular with dog walkers. No toilet facilities.large green space.

M. C.

Lovely walks and plenty of friendly doggos to play with 😊

P. O.

Bosco enjoyed the stream. Easy access and defined walk.

J. R.

Lovely place to take your kids or dogs for a walk, lots of shade for hot days.

A. W.

Great for dog walking.

J. B.

Walk a impressively long way under tree over for a small area. Lots of badgers If your lucky your see a ferret

A. A.

I go every day with my dogs. It's a lovely walk for families with small children because there is always lots of wild life and the trees are pretty nice this time of year.

r. m.

Beautiful spot that feels like a release from the city. Great walks with a little stream in wonderful woodland. No toilets or cafe though which is a shame

I. M.

Perfect place for walk with a dog or your little one. Woods keeps you cool during hot summer days. Plenty of wildlife animals to observe.

C. G.

A great place to walk the dog. Not there former glory and in need of a little tlc with broken benches and such. The place is generally clean and the community of woods goers are considerate and look after the place.

T. M.

Great place to walk the dog, especially when it's hot as its shaded and they can paddle in the stream

D. H.

Great for a dog walk and fun for kids with a stream perfect size for splashing around in in wellies. It's in a natural sheltered dip too, so out of the wind

R. K.

Can be quite busy but a nice short walk which includes a field for dogs to run free. Just watch for the odd bit of rubbish and dog poo!

A. M.

It's very good for children and dog walkers because there is a stream running through four children like to go through the water but you need your wellies

S. G.

Lovely place to walk the dogs. A stream so they can paddle. All accessible with a pram. Under the trees its cool on a really hot day

D. T.

Brilliant natural woodland brought back into use by great Bristol volunteers. Mostly used by dog walkers. In places within the wood you could think you were in the middle of the countryside. Look for the amazing tree stump sculptures.

G. B.

Pretty little walk, not quite long enough and often busy. But still very relaxing and chilled out.

S. H.

Great short walk with the dogs, didn't know it was there a little secret 😀

F. R.

Compact and bijou with good selection of craft beers. There is a menu but we only had one in the sun and moved on.

s. w.

Great for a walk with the kids able to explore. There are a lot of dogs being walked here so not a peaceful walk but a nice one.

F. C.

This park is a good place to spend time, river and amazing view. People spent time with family and friends. Historical place. There are boards to learn about history of the place. Spent good time.

R. F.

Wonderful place to relax. Meadows, streams and woodland. So beautiful there. Easy parking. Dogs are also welcome (there are bins).

V. F.

Lovely place to take the dog wiv streams and also a big field. I enjoy walking and exploring the woods. A great walk 😊

A. L.

Great bit of wooded area and greenery in a built up area of Bristol and is popular with children and dog walkers alike It is for me on the way through for 2 local walks that I use (Bristol Ramblers Triangular Walk - 18 miles) and Alan Burtons memorial walk (11 miles) taken from a book called Bristol Backs, but both go in very different directions It is unspoilt and a great area

P. M.

What woods? Strip of green belt does not a WOOD make.. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck... We are not going to be this juvenile sir, are we? 😂 I feel bullied in to five staring you now... Not really, my pleasure 🥰

E. T.

Love it here, such a nice little walk and shallow waters for kids to play and lots of rope swings

S. F.

Good place for a dog walk. But not a long one. Dry paths and not too much mud

T. P.

A very pleasant retreat from its urban surroundings. I stumbled upon Badock's wood today by accident; it seemed a well maintained yet natural place, teeming with birds and squirrels.

J. B.

Lovely woods with nice walks. No parking or toilets but can park at Greenway centre

L. M.

Grand children love playing here

H. N.

So pretty, lovely walk... Picturesque... So many lovely people and dogs... Really enjoyed our walk

J. R.

Today I visited Badocks Wood with my grandson. We were paddling in the stream (the Trym), a lady passing us on the path commented that she didn't know who was enjoying himself more me or my grandson (7). I said probably me. I added that I have been coming here since I was his age (over 60 years ago) and my father before me when he was a boy. I can't think of a better recommendation than that !

M. S.

Beautiful woodland walks mostly following the banks of the River Trym and a tributary.

E. C.

Wonderful peaceful place with plenty of wildlife flora and fauna. Oasis of peace in middle of residential area.

N. A.

I do recommend anyone want to have such a wonderful time especially if you've a dog to go and enjoy yourself in walking as well as to meet many people walking around defiantly I will go regularly to Badock's wood .

E. M.

Small but beautiful woods to have at the back of my house. Peaceful and serene with quaint little stream and creative wood carvings to be found.

N.

Not a bad dog walk, a bit on the small side though, so larger dogs may need somewhere bigger.
