Reviews of Ashton Court Estate

E. H.

Love this place. Plenty of woodland to explore, as well as open space that's perfect for activities, dog walking and for children to burn off steam, as well as picnics. Plenty of wild garlic in the wooded section where the frisbee golf is, when it's in season, and the mansion house is beautiful too. The car parks are very reasonably priced (the Church Lodge car park often has plenty of space, and under £2 a day is pretty good). Worth a visit if you're looking for somewhere to stretch your legs!

J. D.

Great mixture of woodland, deer parks with sculpture and fine historic buildings for good measure. Quite an experience eating lunch in the former stables - see how the other horses lived. Particularly loved Hugo Farmer's Freedom of Speech.

N. C.

Incredible walks and views! I visited here on Sunday for a walk with my dog and was shocked by how lovely it was. The parking was cheap on Sunday, under £2 for the whole day. There were toilets and a coffee shop! We didn’t go in the house or the cafe but it looked great. There were so many walks you could go on and great for letting the dog off lead. There were deers and horses, on top of this breathtaking views of Bristol. This will be for sure our new Sunday walk!

M. W.

Walking, dog walking, mountain biking, golf, football golf, coffee, cake, toilets and views, what more could you want. Cracking. Parking at the golf course for £1.20 all day (true at the time of writing). Highly recommended.

R. V.

Great outdoor area for walking, hiking, exploring, watching the deer's, but I was the luckiest to be able to attend the "Hot Air Balloon Festival" this year back in July. I had an absolute blast there and I sat on the grass for a picnic, whilst watching them all take off and go into the sunset. It is such a beautiful experience, I recommend to everyone, especially with children.

D. B.

My partner and I love the whole estate, we've walked the grounds countless times and our most recent visit was to a performance held inside the mansion (see photo). The grounds are extensive with woods, open areas and wildlife contained in their own enclosures. Highly recommend a visit, you'll want to go back!

H. H.

My favourite place to take my dog, good prices on parking, 1.80 for all day, really nice cafe with great vegan options and lots of space.

J. K.

Lovely dog walking place. great to have an adventure in the woods has cafe for food and hot drinks and lots of wildlife and deer parks. Golf course and amazing bike paths and trails lots to do for all types of people. Flower gardens and ponds great for runners as well. Even flying kits lots of space to have a picnic or play all types of games. Has festival on special occasions

M. E.

Great place for a walk, lovely tea room and it's where they practice hot air ballooning.

I. K.

A lovely open space on the outskirts of Bristol complete with deer park and cafe

B.

A great opportunity to see dear up close and personal. Car parking is less than £2 for the day.

B. B.

Beautiful place! Awesome for picnics! Lovely grounds and gardens well taken care. Nice café, bathroom. Recommend!

I. B.

Great place to hike with lots of hidden trails and deers roaming free for a great nature experience. Kids spent 3 to 4 hours and had a blast. Kids train ride queue was super long but the ride was really fun despite being a short one. A good place for some quick fun.

H. R.

Massive estate with a variety of walks, from long to short and everything in between. Parking is excellent at £1.20 for all day. It had everything you would expect and looked like there were a few activities for kids

L. B.

Beautiful oasis in the city. Lovely dog walking territory. Even when busy you can find peace and quiet amongst the many walking and cycling routes. Two cafes, pitch and put, foot golf are among the facilities on offer.

C. E.

Beautiful walk 2 deer parks wooded area lovely courtyard cafe.very historic house of Smythe free disabled parking .

D. T.

The house is not open to the public, but the parkland provides some great walks. There are 2 separate deer enclosures, one with Fallow deer and one with Red deer. There is a good café in the old stable block, serving quality snacks. Plenty of car parking at £1.20 all-day.

S. W.

Lovely place to visit but not hugely blown away by the light up Bristol event. Got round it very quickly. simple set up compared to others we have seen. Lovely scenery and not crowded. Xmas projection on the house is really good. Plenty of parking and well staffed. A few more stalls may have made it a bit more welcoming to stay a longer.

D. W.

Pretty gardens, and deer park nearby, and £1.20 all day parking (Ringo a rip off £1.80). Nice cafe

L. M.

Beautiful gardens. Really worth a visit.

A. P.

Went for there festival of lights. Consessions were expensive but expected that. Really enjoyable experience.

I. B. R.

Such a beautiful place, the gardens are beautiful, lots of ground for kids and dogs to run and play. The cafe is lovely with amazing cakes! The most perfect place for a picnic and day out close to Bristol!

T. W.

Family’s everywhere. Young growing deer. Well maintained. Free parking (outside as it was a Bank Holiday). Went to Ashton Court to walk the dog and have a look about. Out of lockdown so popping over to England from Wales. There was lots of people about everyone has space to spread. Picnic, walk in woods, have the dog run themselves knackered? You can do this all here. Plus some really nice views that I won’t spoil for you. Might be a nice early starter park if your heading to Bristol Zoo or somewhere to disappear to after. Accessible for everyone.

J. J.

Lovely place to walk and relax in the sunshine

K. B.

Great place for a walk. Open and wooded paths. Deer park. Usually open until dusk. Small cafe by the House. Two pay and display car parks. Free parking for Blue badge holders.

M. F.

I just had a lovely long walk with my sister and two nephews and my wife & daughter. I hadn't been there properly for such a long time.

A. C.

Lovely place to spend a Summer afternoon at. The views are picturesque and mesmerising. There is a cafe and a public restroom just behind the estate.

c. b.

Lit up bristol lovely but the event is not wheelchair accessible friendly and know its been raining but it felt bit spoil at fact there was not relly any lights on the floor to see where you was going and with wheelchair was bit hard to deal with.

T. T.

This is the Venue for the Bristol ballon fiesta that happens every year in August. Perfect For families and little kids. For more info, photos and videos on Saudi dinning and lifestyle go follow @thisismysaudi on Instagram 😊

C. L.

Beautiful open area, acres of land to explore. Lovely cafe, and deer parks. Views are spectacular. Only downside is parking is tricky if its busy.

T. K.

Lovely gardens, with lots of space and greenery. Be aware there will be puddles if it has rained at all in the last a few days before your visit, so you might want to bring wellies especially for any children.

L. C.

Stunning view and we're lucky for such a nice weather!

C. H.

One of the most famous sites in Bristol it boasts a deer park a rose garden and an extraordinary Manor House

A. E.

A beautiful place just on the outskirts of Bristol, felt as if I was out in the countryside. Failed to see any deer but well worth a visit. The bluebell woods were stunning.

K. R.

Lots of different areas to Ashton Court; the gardens, woods, pathed walks, golf course area. So many places to adventure! The cafe is always busy but glad it's there, with the loos too. We love the miniature railway and seeing the majestic deer.

g. r.

Excellent place to enjoy the outdoors. Lovely estate to walk around, perfect for dogs. Mountain bike trail is great for beginners and families.

K. C.

Lovely large estate, perfect for long weekend walks with a good mix of meadows and woodlands. It's a good dog walking area as well, they are allowed off lead and the cyclists are usually quite careful around them!

P. G.

Just completed the 10k tough runner here. Smashing views at the top and really nice trail through the woodland. Really let rip on the downhill (as in ran fast not farted)

J. A.

Lovely space for connecting with nature with walks for all. Nice cafe for coffee and light bites.

D. H.

Caught the estate looking glorious on the last day of 2020 with gorgeous sun dappled light and just a hint of frost on the ground. Made for a beautiful walk and lovely photo opportunities. Perfect way to end a rubbish year on a tranquil note.

T. L.

I been here many times. Such Beautiful place and views. Easy walks at the top of the hill. Saw the different deer. Cafe at the house.

A. S. (.

Nice place. Till had to be restarted in the cafe though and I was charged twice. Apparently common for it to play up so please check your bank if possible before paying a second time haha

M. J.

Always a great walk. Friendly for walkers, runners, cyclists and kids. If in Bristol, go see the deer and amazing scenes of the city from all the green space. The mansion is pretty lush too! 👍👍👍

G. K.

The Ashton court is a brilliant location for a long and scenic walk. Woody patches and open grassy areas change after each other. You can find two types of deer here as well! It has a few golf courts and a strange game, which is played with a frisbee. You can continue the stroll towards Long Ashton and that is a proper forest walk. Also, there are nice mountain bike trails! Definitely a recommended place

o. s.

Good facilities nice countryside. I've been there for the balloon 🎈 festival and trail run event. Well worth a visit. Loads of deer 🦌.

s. p.

Nice small cafe top and bottom. Loads of trails to include footpath , bridal ways and easy to more challenging mountain bike trails. £1.80 to park all day

A. S.

Always well maintained clean and tidy great views great area for picnics, walking, golf and especially mountain biking trails plenty of parking, cafe and toilets, can be windy tho but plenty of sheltered spots

J.

Lovely spot for a walk, avoid weekends though as it's too busy. Café does delicious hot chocolate. Good for kids and dogs, especially nice because it doesn't have a playground so the kids make their own entertainment.

B. C.

So many restrictions.Bikes access everything disabled very difficult to get around. Though the views are spectacular

D. V.

Beautiful grounds and plenty of land to explore and enjoy. There is plenty of parking and it's only £1.20 for the whole day. Dogs at allowed to be off the lead unless you enter the dear walk.

There's a Miniature Steam railway by the Golf Club. Aston Court Miniature Railway. The Kids love it. Really cheap rides.

S. H.

Well worth a visit x such a lovely place and so big x great for a walk, jog, walking the dog or taking the kids x a great day out x

M.

A great open parkland close to Bristol City Centre (home to the Balloon Fiesta). A wonderful place to walk your dog , ride your bike, run or take your family for a picnic. If you're lucky you may even see some deer (see my photos).

H. D.

Lovely place to walk to see the deer and views of bristol, muddy in places. Car park cost is very good value for the whole day although isnt the biggest. Also toilets and cafe available in the courtyard.

K. J.

Great views and lovely grounds to go for a walk/jog around. They have the 5k parkrun held there every Saturday morning @9am with >400 runners taking part. Plenty of parking to use and it's situated right next to a deer park. Definitely recommend for a nice day out and area is definitely dog friendly.

I. M.

Great place for walking or cycling. There's even a golf course, if you're that way inclined.

J. N.

Magnificent place! Dog friendly and great for picnics too! Love it!

M. E.

Lovely place for a walk and a picnic, car park not too pricey and the views of Bristol are fantastic

C. R.

Beautiful for walks, days out, families couples and friends alike. Always clean and tidy could use more bins and maybe a few more benches for ppl with mobility difficulties.

J. H.

Absolutely stunning, natural and man made beauty entwined in harmony. Deers roaming and scented gardens, a true English delight

R. M.

What an wonderful place to go out in the nature for walks or for a picnic. Fantastic view, perfect for visiting all year round as you can see the deer and their babies growing. From spring to late summer you can enter the rose garden, sit on a bench, relax and enjoy the garden wonderful colours with it's unic scent, while the birds are singing. It is a very calm place, with long nature walks. You can even walk from there to visit Clifton Suspension Bridge. There is plenty of parking spaces and it is only 1.20£ for the whole day. The park is wheel chair accessible .

J. F.

Wicked place for a walk or bike ride. Explore in the woods, there are loads of cool bits of nature to find!!

a. m.

Nice open place to take family for a walk. Good open ground to play. It of the road space for cycle ride. Toilet facilities are good and clean.

B. S.

We went here for the 2019 balloon festival but due to poor weather conditions over the event period, we found things disappointing. I obviously cannot blame the organisers for the weather but I can however on lack of shelter and the muddy ground especially near entrances. They could have provided extra trackway to help keep visitors from getting muddy feet, and maybe some sort of shelter from the rain as this went on for 3 days. (sheltering in an open air style sweet shop is not hygienic or preferable). I will however admit that they did keep us the spectators informed of what was going on. A few balloons did get inflated one at a time so that we did at least see something in the line of balloons. The surrounding land did look very stunning especially if the day's weather had been better. My reason for 3 stars is more to do with shelter or the lack of and lack of thought regarding the trackway. These are under the control of the organisers.

P. S.

Wonderful for walking with the family, a bike ride or a little hike. Options for all abilities and car park close to all paths.

P. K.

Great place for outdoor activities. Many things to do here , Mountain bike hire, golf course. This Ashton Court is suitable for running , biking, walking....

m. w.

Lots of open space, beautiful landscapes, parking is really cheap tho maybe not enough spaces and the reindeer are beautiful to look at, you can also take your dogs, lovely family day out Cafe is clean Bonus toilets are available and clean 😀

T. S.

Beautiful and tidy green park. Lot of people were jogging or just reading in the park. The flower garden is amazing with these many different type of roses. The old trees were very nice too. It was great to stay there first after the lockdown.

C. M.

We went for a walk with a group last week.Took the dogs .Lovely walk and great cafe.

R. B.

Great public estate/park outside bristol. Lots of open space, woods walks and a mansion all free except parking. Site of the baloon festival once a year.

T. B.

Beautiful grounds beautiful views peaceful great place for a stroll

S.

Beautiful place. Went there to see the balloon festival which was kind of a disappointment because of the weather. Although they did try to put up a show but in the end nothing much happened

E. B.

Have always loved this place. Have been visiting for over 40 years. Lovely walks, brilliant for pick nicks and bike riding

O. K.

Beautiful grounds all year round for walking. My dog absolutely loves it here and even as someone who isn't outdoorsy I would come time and time again. Note: £1.20 exactly in cash required for on site parking

H. L.

Bristol International Balloon Fiesta 2021 12th-15th August.

S. W.

Went to see the "Light up" event. Absolutely spectacular, won't give any spoilers but definitely worth a look. Even when the event is not on, the grounds offer amazing scenery, room for picnics and lovely walks

V. V. N.

Had a nice evening. Even though we reached Ashton court estate accidentally, we got to chance to see lot of fun stuff.. nicely decorated buildings, lights all over the place, different events taking place, food van...etc..

m. L.

Lovely peaceful few hours. Gardens Lovely and cafe excellent.

C. K.

Gorgeous walks and views, bring a coat, it gets windy up so high!

M. W.

This is spectacular place. Breathtaking views, nature, the mansion and garden at the back of it. You must take your camera and take loads of photos there. If you're lucky you'll see deers. Access is very easy. It's a must to go there if you're not from Bristol.

J. H.

Very large estate with good paths and tracks for walking and cycling. Good cafe in the courtyard and two deer parks. Good day out for everyone.

J. B.

Love it here! Beautiful open spaces and woodland areas for some fantastic dogosaur fun.

M. T.

Lovely for families, children and dogs. Two deer parks, one red deer the other fallow. Amazing views. Dog friendly cafe.

l. m.

Great place. All way interesting. Great walks

a. m.

Great location for a long walk or bicycle ride or to walk the dog or kids. Lots of greenery and trees and a lovely duck pond. Good for fitness or time out of busy life.

s. c.

Firstly I would like to compliment the cafe, we had toasted sandwiches which were simply delicious.. The grounds here are vast, rolling hills so you can walk till you can't do another step, best bit is there are plenty of solid paths, so even in winter you can go for a nice long walk and not get muddy. The deer are a very special feature here, who doesn't get excited to see these beautiful creatures roaming around. Such a great place for a visit, car park only £1.20 for all day, what a bargin.

h. c.

Wonderful place early in the mornings it's just stunning parking is £1.20 per day so I don't go everyday and during weekends and holidays it too busy with cyclist and joggers for me to relax but early mornings you won't find a more stunning place

B. A.

Beautiful place for walking or cycling and for picnic.

W. B.

A lovely public space for a good walk. Plenty to see too, don't miss the deer herds. Take binoculars!

J. K.

Great historic park; perfect for a Sunday stroll, a run and very close to hustle and bustle of the City. Light show was disappointing though, more lights on my dashboard - but still a 5 star rating for the Park itself.

S. K.

Lovely gardens to walk around, lots of meadow flowers encouraging wildlife and bees, but also well maintained areas. The Manor itself could do with a lick of paint (yellow parts), especially if it's used as an events venue for weddings etc. Saw some families bbq'ing (not sure if this is allowed) but nice place for a picnic.

C. A.

This event is one that everyone should visit at least once in their life. Today we had the most amazing weather and green smoke dictated the mass launch. So lucky what a pleasure.

W. D.

We love exploring Ashton court with our two kiddos. There's so much to explore and see, and always lots of other people to meet

B. H.

Nice off road bike track and other facilities. Fantastic looking place. Great place to see some wildlife and countryside not far from the center of Bristol.

G. G.

The game keeper feeds the deer once a week or so. We were fortunate to be there whilst he tempted them over to the fence. Ashton court is stunning!

M. S.

Lovely parkland great for walking and dogs. Lovely views across Bristol.love the football golf course

K. B.

Lovely place to take the dog for a very long walk. Open grass areas and woodland

J. J.

Nice location to go out for a walk. There is a cafe and toilets too. Quite muddy at this time of year, I'd bring wellies.

H. S.

We always love walking around the grounds with the dogs and children. Well maintained and always a fab time. Gets very busy on weekends.

B. E.

Delightful verdant grounds and sweeping views, free for the public to enjoy. Includes several species of deer, mountain bike trails (plus bike hire) and even a miniature railway!

A. W.

Great day out. Good walking for dogs. Lovely cafe...... along with great wildlife. What out for ticks in the long grass. There are loads of deer.

P. D.

A favourite spot for a walk, lots of excellent views and a good variety of terrain, woodland, open grassland, hard and soft surfaces, slopes and relatively level walks. And of course deer to see.

R. C.

Lovely grounds great paths and Red Wood trees

S. L.

Gorgeous park, variety of activities available, ideal to walk or run

A. P.

A wonderful oasis of wide open spaces and nature Close to the Clifton Suspension Bridge

u. y.

Quite windy in November be prepared! Sundays are busy also, otherwise very nice place with lots of green area and red deers.

S. G.

What a lovely place for a walk or run znd take the dog, beautiful house and beautiful gardens.

A. D.

Lovely grounds for a walk and/or picnic. Always grab a coffee from the stable. One of my favourite getaway from it all places

Z. G.

Such a beautiful place, great walks and not busy

A. J.

Beautiful park, cheap accessible parking.

R. R.

Great place for walking, mountain biking, and have a good time in general. There are deers as well and the place is generally welcoming the balloon festival every year. Nice place for kids as well and if you are going up to the golf club there is a coffee shop where you can get food and drinks. It near the mountain bike shop.

B. R.

Lovely green zone in the middle of the city. Fresh air and calmness with a great view

S.

Great place to walk the dog. Great views over Bristol and it really feel like you have escaped the city. Two car parks and 2 cafes.

J. D.

Balloon Festival. Weather dependent. We were lucky. 7am take off. Evening entertainment and fireworks.

J. T.

Huge stretch of parkland right next to west side of the city. Wonderful views, clean air, no cars great for cycling around although has some climbs. Large area of deer park as well. A real asset to the city.

A. F.

Great park to take your dog or yourself (or even better - both) for a walk to enjoy nature. I recommend visiting Justin's meadow - nice secluded area away from main tracks. Mud is guaranteed, so that ot would be wise to have extra pair of shoes to keep your car clean. Parking lots are available in a few places, cost £1.20 per day. You can pay using RingGo app, if yiu don't have coins (ticket machine does not take cards).

M. L.

We had a nice trip to ashton court today for a costa crew picnic

S.

Cheap parking only £1.20 for the day, accessible loos, plenty of coffee shops, along with lovely paths and scenery.

M. D.

Lovely place to take your children/grandchildren and dogs. Nice cafe to purchase hot/cold drinks. Lots of lovely grounds to explore. Car park £1.20 per day not per hour. Can get busy but there is plenty of room for everyone .

G. P.

Pretty house,bellow average cafe. Nice park.

G. W.

Nice walks through pleasant woodland and parkland. Just rather busy hence the ok rating.

S. H. (. C.

As always a great place to walk and chill out. Was not so happy with the way the young girl on the tills spoke to me when I went to check out what cakes they had for my two granddaughters, as I know they do take a while to make up their minds, the cakes are stupidity put behind the tills which was the reason we found out for the huge queues, so I didn't want to hold up the line any further, I did check first I was not getting in anyone's way and didn't take the girls with me, I just called back to them what was there, she rudely told me to get back in line because she felt overwhelmed, she had an extremely rude attitude, I myself work in hospitality and am very away of things like this and I would never have been so rude to a customer. Dairy free carrot cake was amazing though.

A. M.

Great place for walks, mountain biking, spotting deer, tea and cake and much more in the summer.

J. C.

Easy bus, free, lovely and quiet

j. s.

Beautiful grounds. Best cheese and tomato toastie on sourdough ever.

K. H.

Great place to work out and relax. Park run is amazing every Saturday morning :)

G. H.

Great coffees and nice environment but I do dislike the diagonal speed bumps.

G. C.

Beautiful estate, used by many families, dog walkers, cycling etc. Very spacious. Car park very cheap. Excellent value. My grandson (Second year student at Uni) uses the park with his cycling friends. What a wonderful place.

J. B.

Good Disk Golf course with a great course for beginners and also a satisfying advanced course. I really like the clever holes through the trees. Unfortunately the grass is very long here and it very easy to lose your disks!

I. R.

Great park for walking and biking but also "the" place for the annual Bristol hot air baloon fiesta. Unforgetable!

I. W.

Gorgeous part of Bristol. Good little cafe to allow for enjoying the view with a coffee. Epic trees dot the mansion, as well as forests around the ground, making autumn spectacular.

C. P.

Beautiful parkland very close to the city centre.

R. R.

Fab balloon fiesta much enjoyed by all the family. Great place for a gay out x

P. A.

Lovely park! Ran a 10k there recently and it was lovely to see all of the scenery and the deer park

P. S.

The main house is delightful along with its gardens. The huge surrounding parkland is easy walk around with diverse terrain and areas of interest especially if like deer. The real reason for my visit is the disc golf though. The short course at the top of the estate is brilliant for people new to the sport but course in the South of the park is the real gem.

W. G.

If you live within 20 miles of this place then come and visit. Lovely open spaces, pitch and putt, woods, cafe. But watch out for the parking. You will need a phone to pay with the app. RingGo. £1.80 all day.

C. T.

Nice country estate owned by Bristol City Council. Clean toilet area, Long queue to buy teas, so went somewhere else.

J. O.

Such a lovely touch of nature in Bristol. Saw a big group of deer and was really nice to walk through in the sunshine!

C. J.

Lovely spot in the city to walk and relax. Took our new puppy for a short walk. The rose garden was wonderful in full bloom with a heavenly smell! Went to the cafe which was a bit disappointing. My sons cheese in his toasted sandwich was not melted. I ordered a sausage sandwich to take away, the bread had been toasted and there was no butter effectively just sausage on dry toast! Not pleasant to eat.

A. O.

Lovely walks in the middle of the nature, only few steps from the city

L. D.

I love Ashton Court - there are so many different walks to choose from, always new things to see, plenty of space to distance and breathe fresh air and an outdoor cafe if you fancy a cuppa or a bite to eat at the end of your walk. Oh yes - and it's my dog's favourite place especially the 'ponds'.

D. W.

Can be a little busy (especially to park your car) but we arrived at 9.45 and we're able to park easily. To start it was very misty, so much that we could hear a hot air balloon being inflated but couldn't see it til we got much closer! However within 20 minutes the sun had burnt away the mist and it was glorious. We walked the 5 Kms running route and sat on a bench next to this from where we could drink in the panoramic views of the city. The fallow deer were some distance from the path but still visible and it must have been 18-20C - not bad for February!

A. B. (. T. H.

When it's hot out, and you really should be staying inside or at least under cover, nothing matches a day out in stunning open fields under a hot sun. And what amazing fields they are, 850 odd acres around a beautiful mansion with history going back centuries. Anything from a picnic with the family, a quiet walk through fields housing heards of Red Deer or even an afternoon taking in the gardens and artworks on the grounds is avalible here, especially with £1.20 parking for the whole day, no matter how long you stay.

E. N.

lovely outdoor space, great cafe all dog and child friendly

d. d.

Lovely walks and as it is so large you can safely social distance walk even when its really busy. Large car parks with cheap parking. Coffee and sandwiches are very good at the cafe, a bit pricey but worth it.

W. H.

Great place. Have to pay to park. Good for a park run.

I. D.

Great fun fir the family and happy train enthusiasts.

S. W.

Lovely open space, close to the city centre. There are woodland walks and a good mountain bike trail making it an excellent area to go to get away from the city. There is also a bike rental in the grounds so you can get involved in the 5km trail.

R. H.

Lovely spot for a walk. Remember not to pay for the parking, which is actually free despite the signs. Pitch and putt takes me back to my youth when I could "noodle" my way round in 65.

M. D.

A beautiful open space close to the city.

E. A.

It's really nice during sunny days, and even better at night when we went for Light Up Bristol. Huge open space, and an overlooking view over Bristol

t. b.

Lovely, pretty and calm with sounds of people having fun, £1.20 for parking if required. Cafe tables have been upgraded with great large umbrellas

s. p.

Paid car park at the top,lots of walking options,but when walking in woods keep an eye out for mountain bikes,nice cafe at the side of the house!

L.

Love this place, plenty of spacing for everyone. Kids got lots of room for their bikes. Parking is a really really Good price which is a extra bonus for us to visit more often.

w. t.

Good views over Bristol. Deer park. Lots of walks. Pay to park only down side.

H. S.

So lucky to have this in the city. Amazing place to explore… and the cafe is great for coffee and cake (although I always have a hot choc) - lots of gluten free and vegan options.

j. m.

Excellent walks and a very nice cafe reasonable priced

N. W.

Amazing park. Deers and beautiful wildlife

P. B.

Great place for the park run and watching hot air balloon's in the summer.

A. D.

I live next to this place and it's just wonderful. Good for bikes or walking, has a café with WiFi, lots of different routes to take, a flower garden, a big field and a forest, and a place to park bikes as well as toilets up where the café is. There's also Ultimate Frisbee goals placed around so if that's your thing, go for it!

A. A.

Green space with loads of footpaths. Nice place to visit

A. F.

A nice place to get out in the the open to run, walk or cycle and some good views over south bristol

T. R.

Lovely place to walk around take photos or paint. Great for dogs & children to run around.

M. H.

Beautiful place - particularly good for dog walking.

H. C.

Beautiful grounds on a late spring day! Would love to explore the house

M. P.

Went to see the light show.people helpful not so busy but pleased we payes half price for tickets,good but not worth full price was there for a good half a hour......

H.

Such a serene area only 30 mins away from the centre of Bristol, great place to relax and unwind, plenty of space for everyone. Hills can be nasty though, so come prepared!

J. S.

Lovely open area to walk your dog and get a bite to eat.

G. A.

Absolutely marvellous place well looked after where wildlife and people live together harmoniously. We really enjoyed our walking today and we will definitely come back soon.

F. P.

Favourite destination for walks and immersing in nature, very accessible from Clifton village, about 20 minutes walk across the Suspension Bridge, with handy stop at the estate for hot beverages and food (the carrot cake was excellent)

O. S.

Great place for outdoor activities with the family

z.

Very nice .. to bad the cafe closes early.

R. G.

Lush afternoon walk with my girls and doggies 😎

A. J.

Nice area, nice field views. We have been there due to Ballon fiesta.

L. H.

Very nice place may be could be improved a little for small people nature trails etc. Scolton Manor is a very good example Haverfordwest Pembrokeshire which similarly is council owned.

C. H.

It's amazing place first of all when you arrive is the mansion itself and you've got the court yard cafe Also the lovely grounds of Ashton court you got a lovely walk through gardens and also the huge big fields for any hot air ballooning to take place. It also holds bristols biggest hot air balloon festival now over 4 days in August usually attracts like 150 thousand visitors or more with the added on attractions the whole place of Ashton court is just lovely place to be and always things to do there's even a golf course up at the top you can go walking running biking and dog walking. There is deer parks at Ashton court too so if you like wildlife the deer is there for you. It's really lovely place for things to do for a day out whether you just want to go there and enjoy your day it's brilliant loads of woodland walks too at Ashton court.

D. M.

Bit crowded but a great day out with the family

J. M.

Amazing open space to take kids, walk dogs, cycle, get food and drink or just hang out with mates. Visit the house, take a walk through the beautiful woods, enjoy this place, one of Bristol's hidden gems 😁

P. G.

Great place to walk with a loved one.

A. J.

A vast public area, gifted to the population of Bristol, popular with dog walkers, runners, hikers, cyclists and mountain biking. A beautiful house forms a backdrop to the balloon fiesta each year, even if Covid-19 stopped this years fun. A massive golf course dominates the upper slopes and a fabulous deer park the central and lower slopes. Two shops are available with bicycle repair facilities at one. A mountain bike trail is available and you can park all day for the princely sum of £1.50* (*at the time of writing). What's not to love?

J. B.

Wonderful experience plenty of open spaces to walk or exercise your dogs. Plenty of trails for trail biking. Nice cafe to get refreshments if needed.

D. A.

Ashton Court is popular for picnics and walking but I warn you, if it's raining, both of these activities quickly become tiresome. My sandwiches were ruined in a downpour and don't even get me started on the soufflé.

S. G.

Its a really nice open spaceto walk around also a great place for biking off road

C. R.

Great place for holding the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. Shame the weather was so awful the balloon launches were cancelled. English weather!

J. B.

Big and beautiful open space with lovely views.

G.

Great large outdoor space for taking the dog for a walk or having a stroll at any time of day. The grounds are well kept, there is parking and a tea room. Walking paths are great,so easily to push a wheelchair or buggy around. Good land to cycle around with beautiful views of bristol. Lovely to see the manor house too, which is also well kept. A nice cafe also, with good priced food and drink.

S. P.

love the nuce and vairied disc golf course.

S. C.

The toilet facilities were organised well with COV-19 rules to follow. Plenty of outdoor seating available for fresh air dinning. Long walks optional. Sense of friendliness in the area and plenty of freedom to explore.

S.

Great place for an autumn's lunchtime stroll. Can be quite hilly in places and muddy.

S. F.

Lovey place for walks whatever the weather and picnics on lazy sunny days ! Great views of Bristol , really reasonable parking charge and good facilities.

s. t.

Lovely estate to walk around. Close to the city but far enough to feel removed once the car noise has gone. Beautiful vistas and touches of history to glimpse. Recommend a visit. No idea as to facilities as went during lockdown and everything was closed.

s. f.

Great place to walk dogs

S. H.

Lovely park ,big rolling hills great walks to be had , wonderful mature trees and at the top of the hill an amazing looking mansion house. The staff I met were all friendly helpful and pleasant. And at the end of a wonderful dinner day visit there were hit air balloons taking off and gracefully drifting overhead. Often hosts events in the grounds.

S. M.

Absolutely wonderful place. Great for all the family. Beautiful woods to walk in, fantastic for days out picnicking/ playing outdoor games. Great for dog walkers and nature lovers. Cafe, toilets in the courtyard by the house. There are disc golf trails to follow, also bridleways. Lots of mountain bike trails up at the top. Golf course at the top & miniature steam railway run by enthusiasts, with tunnel, bridge and little station, brilliant for younger children. I think the miniature railway is open every other Sunday, but check their website for details. Very reasonable prices. Can't recommend this gem of a place enough :-).

K. B.

Had an amazing balloon flight from Ashton Court

S.

Perfect for a saunter with the dog. Decent cafe in the main house. Great coffee and a decent selection of sandwiches/toasties and cakes.

A. N.

Vast estate with plethora of paved and unpaved routes to walk and cycle (including some dedicated off-road cycling tracks). Two main carparks - one by the Ashton estate house and one by the golf course. Price at the time of writing is £1.20 a day (cash) or £1.60 a day if you use the RingGo app. There is a cafe and a toilet block by each of the carparks. Car parks can get busy quick especially when the weather is nice over the weekend and especially under Covid restrictions, as it is a local equivalent of going for a country walk for many who are not able to do so at the moment. Main routes can get therefore busy at those times, but if you have wellies and don't mind a bit of mud there are miles of off road walks through fields and woodland patches with plenty of space to socially distance.

P. F.

Great walks and a nice friendly cafe

C. R.

Great place to go. I usually go for mountain biking. The trails aren’t half bad and really well maintained. Top tip - cross over the road to Leigh woods. In all the time I’ve lived in Bristol, I never knew how big it was. Great for walking and even more trails to ride.

T. G.

Ashton court is a beautiful estate and I have personally enjoyed many activities in the park from disc golf to hot air ballooning.

I. T.

Beautiful open spaces with so much to see including the deer

J. M.

Lovely place, but very popular at the moment. Be prepared to queue for parking. Plenty of wide open space for everyone to enjoy. Catching sight of the deer is always nice .

G. S.

Beautiful estate but house needs attention

L. S.

One of the best green spaces in and around Bristol. Lovely woodland and field/meadow space for dogs and humans alike. There are also a couple of deer parks that are wonderful too. (Keep an eye out for events like a Balloon Fiesta)

R. R.

Wonderful walk with the dog & children followed by a take away hot choc! The take away cafe fel very covid safe. Toilets were clean.

D.

Lovely grounds. Great for walks with the family

M. J.

Visit was actually for a Tough Runner event around the grounds. What a beautiful looking place. Dogs everywhere. Wouldn't mind revisiting with my two Labs.

T. M.

Nice free open space with fantastic views of Bristol.

A. D.

I came here for a couple of hours before going on a Balloon Ride with Bailey Balloons. The place is spacious with lots of green area to sit and relax. I will likely come here again in the future.

K. K.

Lovely place to go for a walk

A. M.

Love it! Best place to walk my dog in bristol. Huge estate with many walks and mountain bike trails, car park is £1.20 for the whole day. The cafe is amazing!! I had a vegan grilled cheese sandwich with kimchi on sourdough...

J. N.

Not just a beautiful estate for nice walks but lots of activities to get involved in. There are three main car parks. You'll be able to get coffee and snacks at the manor house or near the gold course. There are two large fields with deer you can see. If you're looking things to do you can try Frisbee golf, or hire a bike and ride the MTB trails. There is a miniature train set you can ride some weekends and of course the main golf course, where you can hire all the equipment if needed.

A. W.

Ample space for taking a walk, having a run or just getting food at the café. Parking is limited but they do offer alternative parking. There is also local pay and display parking near by. Beautiful grounds, views and red deer. If it's nice outside, you are into relaxing, green space and moderately priced but clean healthy and food you could definitely spend a whole day here.

H. C.

Magnificent park,nice walks

S. D.

One of my favourite places in bristol! So much to explore, amazing views and exquisitely well maintained. £1.20 parking for the whole day too, bargain!!

W. S.

Amazing massive country park close to the centre of Bristol. Doesn't a few hours walking around and didn't see it all! Beautiful.

F. A.

Great place for a walk and a stop for a picnic! I think of you want to have a city scape, this is the place.

G. L.

Great place for a walk and chill

C. K.

Beautiful estate, lots of space, lovely refreshments with lots of outdoor seating.

P. K.

Lovely park and grounds. Only there for the annual International Balloon festival.

L. R.

Always go here to walk the dog and take the children on there bikes, got some really good bike trakes and so good for the wild life, my boys love seeing the deer. The toilets are free of charge and are always well kept when I have been there, there is a cafe there for snacks hot and cold drinks, I have never been in there as I always take my own these places are usually quite pricey for what you get. The only horrible thing is that you have to pay for parking, it £1.20 for the day and you can come and go on the same day with that ticket so it's not to bad. You can pay via the app so don't need change which is fab

D. P.

An excellent walking trail. I have also been to the balloon fiesta which is held here once every year. The gardens are lovely and ideal for picnics. There is a gold course and model train track in the same place. Kids can yet on these trains and go round the track for £1. Recommended for a sunny day.

C. N.

Nice place for a walk, take care as a lot of uncontrolled free reigning dogs, that theirs owners have no control over.

H. B.

A lovely chilled place to take your dog for a walk, or a picnic in the Summer. I go there mainly for Mountain Biking, the trails are really fun and have maintenence done on them regularly (not very 'rooty' which is what I like!) The Cafe next to Peddle Progression (where you can hire mountain bikes) make a lovely hot chocolate too, try it out if you're heading down. :)

P. B.

Lovely parkland for getting out of the city into greenery. Lots of events happen here including the Bristol Balloon Festival every August. Lots of woodlands to play hide and seek with the children, walking with the dogs, golf course, Red and Fallow Deer and two nice cafe to get food and drink. Great views over the city and lots of fresh air.

J. Y.

Great place to visit on weekends! !

R. C.

Beautiful Estate been coming here for over 30 years. Now my kids love it too. Walking or on bikes. Stunning views across Bristol 👏 👌

C. N.

Great place to visit with the family. Also brilliant for dog walks. Lots to do and explore. Car parking can be busy over weekends.

H. L.

Beautiful walks and scenery, rose garden was stunning!

S. W. (.

As Bristolians we forget just how lovely and quiet this place is wonderful woodland walks great bike hire. Great orienteering and a council golf course. Football golf at present . Greens look like they have been cared for by a grave digger with a JCB and a hand grenade. But hey it's winter and a council course it's not the masters !!

K. M.

Beautiful grounds on a hill overlooking Bristol. Deer roam in their own section of the park. A friendly and well organised park run takes place every Saturday at 9am. Free parking on a Saturday before 10am.

B. D.

Love ashton court been going to this place since i was a child

J. W.

Beautiful grounds lovely cafe and staff really polite and friendly food was very nice too we will return here plenty of walking space .

R. B.

Long queue for the cafe and over priced sausage sandwich. Luckily my gf paid for that. Best part was the table tennis table round the side, so bring your bats people!

L. M.

Visited Father Christmas here with my young grandchildren. The house, decorated with a huge tree and complete with magnificent fireplaces, was the perfect setting. The grounds are beautiful too, and well used by local famiies at weekends. What a pity this beautiful, historic old family mansion is crumbling away.

J. W.

Great place to go for walks runs or just relax with a picnic

S. w. C.

Open space, nature, cafes, deer. Don't forget scooters or bikes for the kids. When the bower ashton car park is full you can head up to the golf course and park up there. A lovely place for a walk on a sunny day and accessible for wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

B. P.

Went for the balloon fiesta which was amazing. Great grounds for walking.

J. A.

Nice but over priced.

S. D.

Beautiful in the sun, so green! Deer with massive antlers. You can spend all day here wandering.

N. M. G.

It is such a beautiful place with a variety of paths to take to the mansion which has beautiful gardens. It has a variety of wildlife like deers and red deers which you can see throughout the whole year. In autumn the forest walk is just too amazing and the golden and red colours resemble that of flames. I also think that you can rent to do events at the mansion. Very beautiful. I have been there a few times on a picnic with my family and we had a great time. Really recommend going!

D. N.

Great place for a walk and see some of the deer on the estate.

A. B.

One of Bristol's highlights! This is a must see! Great wide park, if you're lucky you can even spot the deers!

I. w.

Lovely rural place just on the edge of the city Lots to do and see Perfect for dog walks

S. H.

A very pleasant afternoon walk, glad to know this place is in public hands but it could really do with a bit more love.

B. N.

Lovely grounds, great bike trails, pitch and putt and the excellent miniature railway.

J. W.

We cycled from Kingswood, took sandwiches and bought takeaway coffee from the cafe. Busy, but plenty of space to relax with our picnic.

S. C.

Popular but plenty of space for all. Lovely walk. Cafe area was busy.

B. K.

International Balloon Fiesta August 6: Nightglows, Firework Displays and Mass Balloon Launches are just some of the spectacular events you can expect during the four days of free family-friendly fun that make up the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. Founded more than thirty years ago, today the fiesta is the largest of its kind in Europe, featuring more than 100 hot air balloons, and attracting half a million visitors annually.

I. T.

Lovely park estate, visited during Balloon Fiesta, 4 day event,enjoyed live music at the Band stand (even with the rain),but,very pricey wanted £6 for 2 cans of coke,so be warned and best to bring your own food and drink.

O. C.

Bristol balloons just gave a show. Amazing time spent there a little time ago.

L. J.

Very busy at Ashton Court today, people getting out in the fresh air during lockdown.

A. E.

Beautiful walk, and picnic site! Showed my mum around the gardens and she loved it, and we also walked around to see the different deer - the view from the top of the hill over Bristol is amazing!

S. C.

Lovely grounds to the house, really nice walks past the deer enclosure, can fly kites, drones etc. There is a golf course if you are into that sort of thing. There is a cafe which is quite expensive but serves decent cakes and tea.

P. L.

One of my favourite dog walking parks in Bristol. Acres of land with wooded bits. Bike hire. Pitch & putt / golf course. small cafe. Great views over the city . Theres fallow and deer grazing too. Great to walk come rain hail or shine!

C. R.

Great place to go to for walking the dog and generally getting plenty of fresh air and exercise the café serves a range of refreshments. The toilets are now open.

T. M.

An amazing free day out with very reasonable parking prices.The cafe is good and the deer are cool to look at

T. J.

Great big park, with open fields, ponds and woodland. Decent little MTB circuit, suitable for all ages, plus a sizable (if poorly signed) frisbee golf course. Regular golf there, too, but I couldn't comment on that.

M. M.

Even in the rain , beautiful place . Can't comment on carpark charges as machine was not working so it was free parking too. The grounds are lovely and the house is stunning.Shame you can't go inside .

M. R.

Ashton Court seems to go on forever. Beautiful deer parks, lovely cafe. Excellent place to spend the day.

C. B.

Nice country park and the scene of the balloon fiesta. Very popular during the summer. Numerous entrances lead to the country house in the middle that you can enter for a fee. There is a small cafe there and often an icecream truck. There are loads of deer around. Very very good.

D. T.

A Great estate for walking your sunday dinner off . big hills loads of woods football golf .. get for biking about and only £1.20 to park all day but .. the ticket meter will not give you change so take the right money

B. g.

Near the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge. Great views of Bristol. Lovely place to take a picnic.

T. S.

Great place to go for a walk either on your own or with a dog. Tons of open space but a bit boggy in winter. Road up to car park by UWE has angled speed bumps requiring you to drive at an angle to not get jolted.

M. T.

Great place to walk, cycle or picnic. Also has a Par 3, Football and Disc Golf courses. Some stunning views to be had and there's the occasional deer running around.

M. P.

Big open spaces, woodland walks, bike trails... What more do you want

J. C.

Absolutely breathtaking. So big, tranquil and the wildlife couldn't be more perfect! We even saw a barn owl! Was a beautiful experience thank you so much for keeping such a stunning location

L. B.

One of the finest locations just on the outskirts of the city - Well worth coming for a nice long walk around the grounds. You may even spot a few deer and after the walk you'll be able to relax and enjoy a coffee with fabulous views of Bristol's rolling hills. Well worth a visit if you have the time.

C. R.

Incredibly convenient for so many things; walking (dogs obviously welcome in pretty much all areas of the large estate), biking, running, golf, etc. Not to mention how close it is to the city. If you're lucky enough, you'll also get to see some very up close and personal deer in their deer park. It is of course the home to several large scale events - The Balloon Fiesta being one of them.

M. H.

Lovely place to take your family and go for a walk, explore the woods and stop in the cafe for a drink or bite to eat. Plenty of open space for a picnic or BBQ and to let the kids burn off some energy. If your lucky you might get to watch a hot air balloon set up and float away.

S. S.

Beautiful estate for a nice walk

O. M.

Free to roam vast grounds woodlands kids & dog and bike skateboard scooter friendly. Football golf pitch & putt golf. bike hire frisby golf. Parking £1.20 per day! Lovely little cafe. Deers to be seen. Love this place 😍

S. L.

Beautiful peaceful grounds and cool forest bro

K. L.

Lovely place to go a walk, run or picnic. Careful with a car, I've seen lots of folk get stuck when the gates close around 1830.

M.

I used to attend Ashton Park school many years ago and the big house was our blazer badge. This visit was to attended the balloon festival and it was lovely to return. This is a lovely estate, comprising wooded areas and open fields, with lots of parking and enjoyable walks. Well worth a visit.

C. R.

Love Ashton court usually bring our kids here to run around and play see the animals and explore also for walks with my partner. There is small pockets of woodland for playing and more vast areas the grounds are beautiful and always kept so. Went here for my birthday this year on an air balloon ride. They can also accommodate for venues and weddings in the mansion house or in marquees within the grounds.

G. S.

Lovely autumn walks but car park was horrendous. No parent and child parking so when we did eventually find a space it was difficult to get the baby and pram out of the car.

J. M.

Great views of Red Deer herd.

K. P.

lovely grounds to walk around, good cafe worth popping in for cake and a cuppa or a toasted sandwich. love that you are surrounded by trees fields and deer but have views over the city too.

G. E.

Beautiful place. Lovely place for a walk or taking dogs out.

R. A.

Nice walks good cafe.

G. Y.

A great place to take the family for a walk and burn off some energy. The cafe is ideally placed by the car park and toilets and there is always water for the dogs too. Car park is cheap at £1.50 for the day. The walks are well signed. #geocache here

K. A.

Great walking dogs off lead

G. B.

A lovely place for a walk, we took our dog there over the bank holiday weekend and had a pleasant time walking around the grounds, it is a huge place with walks through woodland and open areas, the views are spectacular over the city of Bristol and you might even see the deer! Dogs can go off the lead, there are ice cream vans, parking was £1.20 for the day and you can pay by phone if you don't have change.

A. A. I. E. S.

Never changed, brilliant childhood memories belongs to Ashton Court Estate. God Bless the donor and his family.

l. d.

Lovely walk as usual, some gates closed so had to take a different route to normal but ended up finding things is the wooded areas that I didn't even know was there, my son loved it.

V. G.

A wonderful free resource! A great place for a picnic. Rose garden could use some work but its run by volunteers so... Reasonably priced & friendly tea shop.

D. W.

Nice wide open space, plenty of room for the dogs to have a good charge about.

J. V.

Well this place is amazing in the summer aswell as the winter. Have always loved this place seems very magical to me. Brilliant days of balloon fiesta to just running around in the woods like being a kid again. Fantastic views of the city whitch is natural history.

A. P.

perfect for walks, though make sure you wear waterproof shoes if it recently rain! My boyfriend and I love it.

A. H.

Brilliant place to walk your dog. Nice cafe as well

D. G.

Walk, run, mountain bike, golf, picnic, or just stop by for a bacon buttie and coffee. The grounds are beautiful, there's a miniature railway open some days, bike hire and bike coaching at PedalProgression (highly recommend these guys) with trails suitable for all levels including kids.

p. l.

Great place veiws food and coffee

W. R.

Lovely gardens and not a far walk to the suspension bridge. The house isn't v interesting and the ice cream leaves something to be desired. Worth a visit on sunny days

S. W.

Beautiful open space used by families, cyclists and dog walkers. Be warned you need to pay for parking but it's a reasonable fee (currently £1.20)

s. c.

Big open spaces with lots of woods and two cafes. Also football golf. Frisbee golf, golf and mountain biking. Very muddy in winter if you go off paths and into woods

J. D. R. d.

Great area for a range of walks. Plenty of space to park. Nice cafe. 👍

R. A.

Visited the park to enjoy this years DogFest. What I saw of it, vast areas of grass and woods. A very nice place to 'dog walk'. Dogs allowed off lead. Herd of beautiful deer.

S. T.

This is a beautiful estate with all sorts of facilities for the public, not to mention the deer park. Walk your dog, let your children explore, have a picnic, or come to one of the many festivals that it hosts.

A. D.

Always a lovely walk regardless of the weather. Due to COVID, meeting outside and not sharing cars, the car park was full and we had to park outside the park and walk in.

J. d. M.

Great place to get away from the city. Very green. The woods are nice to walk through and the trees are beautiful. The rose garden has many with fabulous scent.

C. B.

Great piece of open space. Plenty of variety.

A. N.

Great area for walking - off road tracks through open fields or woodland. Also tarmac road through estate but no car access so good for bikes and buggies. Café at the house in old stables - drinks and snacks mediocre.

R. J.

Amazing place for getting everyone in the family for a picnic. Great for dogs, plenty of open space, cafes, toilets and cheap parking. I can go on and on 🙂

H. P.

Great space for dog walkies lots of interesting places to wander through woods garden and huge field areas. Cafe is ok but a bit limited in choices. Plenty of parking.

S. S.

Good mtb trails for beginners

C. B.

Great for walks all year round.

S. G.

Fantastic park near Bristol and Clevedon. If you love foraging for mushrooms and edible plants then great to visit.

D. T.

Superb location to walk with you family and dog 🐕 good views over Bristol too.

D. C.

Fantastic free place. 2 golf courses, tea rooms, deer park, woods, open grass land. A great place to let your pooch run.

A. E.

Great place for a walk, as of 09/01/21 the deer area is closed due to inconsiderate walkers. All dogs are off leads so be careful

R. M.

Lovely sunny day walk

A. K.

Beautiful large park on outskirts of Bristol with great views over the city. Ideal for walkers, cyclists and families. Deer park adds an extra attraction.

C. R.

The light experience was great and the children loved it

I. B.

This is a great place. You can see for miles all across Bristol from the top. Good MTB courses through the woods. Pitch and putt with a reasonable cafe. House down at the bottom - think you can look round it but not sure. Went inside for a wedding once. If it's sunny it's a good place to lie around in the grass and have a picnic with the Mrs. If she can't be bothered I smash round the bike course and do Leigh Woods too before heading home.

C. R.

Large estate with woods, open areas and deer park. Lots of paths and tracks. Excellent for dog walking. Good views of surrounding areas and Bristol. Several pay parking areas.

A. J.

Beautiful estate open to the public.

M. A.

Really miss my weekend runs around the Estate. It's within walking distance across Suspension Bridge to Clifton. Beautiful views, nice to escape the city sometimes.

N. D.

Nice cafe, beautiful grounds and only 1.20 to park all day.

E. D.

This is a great place to visit, most especially when the Bristol ballons festival in on. Large open parklands with views all around, a great place for a walk at anytime, and within easy walking distance of many parts of Bristol, or you could get the bus etc. During the gallons festival special buses are laid on, and the park itself is turned into a wonderland of entertainment for all the family and is free to visit. Highly recommended 😃

d. T.

Love it here, great bike trails for the beginner and a little bit more. The deer park is just beautiful. Great views over Bristol.

R. B.

Beautiful open grounds with lovely views across Bristol. Nice cafe with helpful staff. Visit on a Sunday to see/ride the fantastic miniature railway.

V. A.

Nice open air recreational area. Lots of foot paths to explore with an enclosed area for dear.

S. H.

Large space with good parking (£1.50 all day) open grounds for kids to run or walk off into the estate. Ice cream can availabilie in summer

F. F.

Great venue for Bristol Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. Sadly there were no balloons due to the weather but loads of stalls in the huge fields available. Great parking facilities.

G. F.

Great place lots of open space , birds and dear also really good walks through woodlands

C. G.

A really nice outside space only a stone's throw from the city centre. Great views and also a cafe for takeaway snacks

A. C.

Great place to go on a walk + good cafe

H. P.

It used to be a wonderful place to wander about with the children and dogs. Now its a Mecca for off road cyclists. Went up on new years day and it was a packed muddy hell hole. So many people it could have been the city centre. Cyclist after cyclist. Mud everywhere. There never used to be that much mud on the roads. I used to ride a horse along the roads and the horse track but I wouldn't dare do that now. Such a shame.

M. E.

Lovely grounds to walk around. The house needs work.

D. H.

Lucky to live close to this fantastic bit of outdoor space. A Bristol gem. Lots of different walks, some really good bike trails, perfect for dog owners and a couple of ok places to get a coffee and a sandwich or snack. Go in the evening after work and have a picnic and look out over Bristol and Dundry.

A. W.

A fantastic green open space very close to Bristol city centre. Great views and plenty of room to run or sunbathe or play golf. The venue also hosts a number of outdoor events throughout the year.

S. C.

I love this place. It is peaceful and feels like back in time when sitting in the garden or under a tree. Good toilet facilities and cafe as well. U can ride a bike... play hide and seek ❤️

P. A.

Lovely walk with dog although it rained it was well worth it. Will definitely be going back maybe with the horse next time

B. T.

Great place to walk the dog

T.

Love this area so much nature surrounding you great for walks and mountain biking and nature watching

S. A.

Dog Walker heaven pretty much. One area where lead walking is essential due to deer but otherwise your dog is free to roam and sniff to their hearts content.

K. D.

So beautiful, so much to see and the walks are wonderful. Lots of deer 🦌, the house is stunning. A really wonderful place to spend a day.

D. A.

We're very lucky having so many urban green spaces in Bristol, and this is one of the gems. It is a great place to go for a Sunday walk, or to take the kids to play.

J. B.

Bristol 🎈 Balloon🎈 Festival . . It was an amazing event marred by bad weather .. the disabled parking was ok but the field was heavily rutted and very difficult to steer the heavy wheelchair .. loads of fairground rides, food stalls catering for every taste and a good music stage .. seemed very well organised with events happening on time .. getting away was a nightmare as I needed to get to the Gordeno services to use the Changing Room but we were diverted onto the M5 well below it! But apart from that it was a brilliant day and we'll recommended for next year!

P. E.

Lovely walk and coffee.

T. S.

Brilliant for walking. Some steep hills but plenty of well maintained pathways. Beautiful herds of deer. Cafe and amenities at the estate house.

D. M. B.

Orchids, skylarks and dawn over Bristol - what's not to like

A. E.

Christmas Lights were Brilliant. Well worth seeing.

J. H.

If you get lucky you might see a gathering in the deer park

Great place for mtb. The trails in ashton court and leigh woods are great for families, beginners and pros alike. Parking is good and cheap (£1.20 at the main car park). Ypu can park for free over on north road bit you'll have to walk back to ashton court.

An amazing place to visit with views over Bristol and mountain biking trails with bike hire. Great for walks and days out with family.

Great large public park are forest

J. C.

Great! Hot air balloons were there

A. J.

A vast public area, gifted to the population of Bristol, popular with dog walkers, runners, hikers, cyclists and mountain biking. A beautiful house forms a backdrop to the balloon fiesta each year, even if …

D. P.

Fantastic park near Bristol and Clevedon. If you love foraging for mushrooms and edible plants then great to visit.

Lights were lovely

E. C.

So lucky to have such beautiful open green space on the outskirts of the city free of charge

L. D.

The times I have come has here for the balloon festival or back in 2019 when I visited this place it was a nice walk I really enjoyed it

P. H.

Too many people, too few car park spaces

C. M. T.

Stunning outdoor space, loads of open grass as well as plenty of shelter underneath trees. Beautiful walks, and wild deer

J. N.

Good for families, dog walkers, runners.. Great cafe, perfect for watching hot air balloons and deer

V. S.

Fantastic place to go for a walk or ride a bike it has plenty of space and it’s beautiful to go. Recommend anyone that visits Bristol to go there.

Loved the balloon fiesta, the only issue I would have is the driving marshalling. Onsite was great, but no signposts when we were redirected, and trying to get out, we were sent out in lots of country roads. Giving you 5 stars as I know that there was a serious traffic accident just down the road, which you couldn't have predicted, but a traffic Marshall may have given us alternative directions so that we could have avoided the 4 mile diversion

G. B.

Lovely scenery. Lots of open space to walk or cycle and the Deer park . Dog friendly .

S. D.

Lovely place good to go on walks around the estate there are lots of paths and woodland there are lots of deer to look at there is also a lovely café in the courtyard of the House

B.

Cheap parking, large area to explore, well maintained, good views of the city and free toilet access

Ashton Court is fantastic. There is so much to do here and all year round. The grounds are quite large, and there is a estate House too. At the rear of the house there is a café. There is grass to sit on, woods to explore but some of the wooded areas are mountain bike trials. So you may have to be careful. I find that Ashton Court is a great walk or cycle from Long Ashton to Clifton. Every Saturday there is a parkrun held here. During the summer the Bristol balloon festia is held here. There also other festivals which Im not familiar with.

The greens on the footgolf course are in bad condition. Shame as a bit more effort would make it a lot better.

A. W.

Fabulous green space,lovely place to meet up with our daughter for a Birthday picnic !So happy to see the deers in a wonderful environment.

R. M.

I mostly know Ashton Court thanks to parkrun (Google parkrun) and I have very good impression of the scenery and great size of the park. Friends told me you can see a deer or two at times though I did not have this pleasure yet. Parking is priced very reasonably (I think it's about 1 or 1.50 for the day)

A. P.

Beautiful place close to Bristol, easy to go with a bus. Great for walks.

K. K.

When I went it was Balloon National Festival, it was very nice park, beautiful historic palace and scenery. The festival was a great day out for the family and balloons lifting were spectacular view.

D. K.

What a wonderful space for the city of Bristol to escape to. A great deer park, lovely grounds and cyclist and family friendly.

d. c.

V. K.

It is a lovely place to spend your free time perfect for a long walk. Suitable with a buggy. I can only recommend it. We spent a lovely day there.

S. K.

Great place for a visit, easy to social distance. Lots of walks to do, come here often.

J. B.

Very cheap parking and huge spaces to walk or picnic for the day. We took a gazebo down and had a party, perfect for that!

D. M.

The estate is a fantastic place to be, see wildlife and be in the country but close to the city. The balloon fiesta is the main reason I go each year. I love this place.

C. N.

Lovely walk, great gardens. Saw deer and their foals...

T. B.

Always a nice place to visit, good walks and views and the deer park is good for photos. Just outside of Bristol so easy to get too and from.

G. P.

It's a lovely place to visit and it feels like you are in the countryside even though you are still in smelly Bristol. Great for mountain biking, a walk or a picnic.
