Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Chloe WrightBristol, UK10 contributionsAmazing - just so so beautiful! Felt privileged to be there. Paths lined with majestic trees and an active lake with ducks and swans. A small island in the middle where you can see squirrels, birds and other rodents wondering about. Play area was good for the kids and there was also a skate park and a small basketball court. I haven't visited much in the past but my rediscovery during the recent lockdown walks made me wish I had!!Written 8 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wombling_Free_7548Bristol, UK2,079 contributionsStaff were very friendly. Quite a quirky selection of exhibits, including a scold’s bridle. Not worth a special trip, but do pop in if you are already on the estate. Good shop too - bought a football and little windmill.Written 16 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SJD5 contributionsI booked afternoon tea for two in the cafe as a last minute birthday treat. Despite the late notice the food was the best I've had! The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive.

Of all the things we visited in England, only this gorge and the white cliffs were the lone natural attractions.
Between Bristol and the sea, the river Avon has to cut through an area of limestone hills. At Clifton Suspension Bridge the gorge is at its most pronounced at 700 feet wide and just over 300 feet high. It is an area of real natural beauty. The beauty of the Gorge is accentuated by the Clifton Bridge. It is made for pictures.
We walked early on a very frosty December morning and enjoyed our time here. It was beautiful and even magical in the frosty morning mist.Written 1 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Stubled a cross an old WW2 hospital and a log face statue in tribute to the women of WW2 - the wicker whale and nature reserve are the perfect place to wander and forget your thoughts. Also I didn't come across many people and I would advise wearing wellies... lots of muddy paths and stepsWritten 3 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RobininBRISTOLBristol, UK1,131 contributionsWould you believe it? In the very heart of "posh" Bristol a serene piece of country. Admittedly it gets noisier as you near the Portway - but ignore it - this is a gem. Try to find the remains of the garden for Bishops Knoll - a private house - now demolished - that a superb couple turned from their home into a hospital in WW1 for 200Written 1 October 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GGSM81Bristol, UK294 contributionsThe estate has a free car park and usually has spaces free. The house has a cafe that sells lovely food, ice creams and hot drinks. You can sit outside of it and see the view across to Avonmouth. The estate itself has some lovely grounds and is always popular with dog walkers. There are the remains of the quarry gardens and some stone follys if you keep your eyes peeled-the most obvious one being ‘The Grotto’ which is a short walk from the end of the landscaped garden near the house. There is a ring of trees known as ‘The Chapel’-this used to be used by the scouts a lot. The grounds also contain a trig point with a nearby decorative feature. Well worth visiting. Recommended.Written 13 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Graeme BLos Cristianos, Spain20,374 contributionsWhat a lovely place to visit.
A large area of woodland with the pools hidden in the middle.
Loads of walking trails, but a lot of steps.
Amazing Woodlands, with really big trees.
Very peaceful when we walked through, though watch out for the many cyclists.
Fishermen at the main pool, but you must have a permit.
Highly recommend a visit & stroll around, you could spend an hour or a day, but just Relax.Written 17 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
