Park in Bristol

“We love this park; so much variety and more challenging equipment for older children. We always take bird seed to feed the ducks, moorhens and swans (and pigeons!) who live on the large lake behind the playground. The cafe is lovely and there is usually an icecream van there too. The water play area is fab in the summer (photos show it switched off as it is October), my girls can spend hours playing in it. There is a smallish concrete basketball court which doubles as a football pitch which is very popular. I love the logs dotted around which have been intricately carved with native species. Well worth a visit and definitely one of my favourite Children’s parks in Bristol/South Glos.”

“Beautiful National Trust site. Excellent walks with stunning views. Dyrham Park house is just stunning with beautiful gardens, church, and ponds. You have video history, tea rooms, and a mobility bus for the elderly and disabled. Really helpful, informative staff. We would highly recommend.”

“Beautiful in Autumn and a great play park, even for big kids.”

“Great place to visit with kids they will love feeding the animals and playing on the parks”

“Beautiful park and good facilities. Cafe, play area, tennis courts, a bandstand! Gorgeous mature trees and plenty of space.”

“Really good farm, variety of great options to keep kids of all ages entertained. We visited with age 2 and 6, kids were kept busy until the very end. Lake canoeing (No additional cost) Trampoline Big pillow bounce Small pillow bounce 2x indoor play areas 3x Outdoor playgrounds, one with sand pit, another with zip wire Pond with large fishes in Water park Outdoor castle play area Lots of farm animals plus deers which was a bonus, feeding, petting zones. Tractor tour ride around the farm (additional £3 each). It's one of those areas that you wished you lived closer and would definitely visit on a regular basis because your kids had so much fun. Staff were all very friendly. Great service all round. Highly recommend for family outings...”

“Lovely for a day out. So so many different play areas for children, both indoor and out. An excellent tractor and old farm machinery exhibition and lovely friendly £1 tractor rides.”

“Lovely site, all staff so friendly and facilities top quality. Shower rooms so clean and warm. Looking forward to our next visit”

“I recently visited Chew Valley Animal Park and booked the private capybara experience, and I have to say it was absolutely worth it. The capybaras were incredible to see up close, and being able to pet and feed them made the experience so special. The animal keeper leading the session was fantastic as well, really engaging, full of knowledge, and clearly passionate about the animals, which made the whole experience even better. On top of that, I really enjoyed the cuddle sessions with the smaller animals. Getting to hold and spend time with the mice, rabbits and guinea pigs was such a lovely part of the visit. My favourite had to be a guinea pig called Coco Chanel, who was a total diva in the best way. In my photos she’s the brown, fluffy one with loads of hair, she definitely stole the show. The park itself is really well set out with great enclosures that look spacious and well cared for. I also loved how interactive it was in certain areas. The goat enclosure in particular was brilliant; as soon as you go in with food, they swarm around you, which was a lot of fun. The arctic fox was another highlight, such a beautiful and majestic animal to see up close. It’s also clear the park has thought about the practical side of things too, with loads of washing stations around, which makes the whole experience a lot more comfortable and family friendly. We stopped at the restaurant as well and were pleasantly surprised. I had the margarita pizza with chips and the pizza was cooked on a stone base, which gave it that lovely authentic taste. On top of that, booking the capybara experience came with a £5 voucher to use on food, which was a really nice bonus. Overall, Chew Valley Animal Park is a fantastic place to visit. Between the amazing animals, the interactive enclosures, the cuddle time with the smaller pets, the knowledgeable staff, and even the little touches like food vouchers and plenty of washing stations, it felt like a really well rounded day out. I’ll definitely be coming back again.”

“Really lovely place to visit. Quiet, peaceful but with fascinating tales of botany to educate too. There's a really nice cafe as a bonus.”

“In one of the private rooms for a 14 person event. Room was perfect, it was a Christmas meal and felt super cosy and tucked away from the rest of the pub. Decor was nice. Staff couldn’t have been more attentive. Reasonable price for the food and drink we had. Very likely to return next year! Thank you.”

“Loved it! Lots of bouldering tracks for beginners, very friendly staff, easy registration and no additional fees for newcomers. We spent an hour here on a Saturday and could probably stay longer if our fingers didn't start falling off, hehe. A nice gym stretching area, clean bathrooms, a cafe, everything you want really. Will come again! Update: got really used to the place, 5 stars:)”

“Absolutely perfect site so accessible to everywhere we walked into Burnham-on-Sea from here it's about 3 mile walk very pleasant very handy for McDonald's Greggs Aldi across the road yes very nice site”

“Love all the open space, love the play park facilities”

“Smart, slick and the coffee was pretty good and at a sensible price. The cakes looked good but I didn't try them. Ever since Liz Truss was in power coffee has gone up, chocolate too, I can't think why. But at £2.40 that's good compared to some places at £3.45.”

“Always a pleasant experience with my dentist Dr Saljughi and hygienist Estefania.”

“Great staff, great product, great sense of humor all around. The rush periods are completely random, sometimes it's dead; sometimes it's pretty busy but the staff never hurry you and always give as much advice as possible.”

“I recently brought my Audi Q7 in for a major service and brake pad replacement, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. Adam and the team was professional, knowledgeable. My car is running smoothly. The turnaround time was quick, and the pricing was very fair for the quality of work done. I highly recommend here for anyone looking for reliable and honest service. I will definitely be returning for future maintenance!”

“AMAZING experience to witness Elk and Deers roaming freely. We had a picnic under the trees,a great walk and not too far away from city centre.”

“Lovely park and playground. There is a free museum which is quite big and rather impressive for being free in comparison to others that charge. At the museum there is an art gallery and a lovely outside area. The park itself is not huge but great for a few hours and a picnic. The only cafe is at the museum unfortunately along with the toilets but we did not find any other facilities. Parking was free which is a bonus and there were a few other walks going off from here which look great for another day. Well worth the visit. The sensory garden wasn't impressive, there was very little there to consider it a sensory garden especially when comparing to others we have been too.”

“as for the place, it is something completely different, a beautiful canyon that we can see from the top while walking along the trail and from the bottom, from both sides there is a completely different impression. If someone likes mountain climates, I highly recommend it. There are two caves, the larger one makes an incredible impression, you have to see it because I can't describe it. The price for all the attractions is 25 pounds, but in my opinion it is worth it.”

“Very nice park within the city. There is a free car park, big, open fields, a lake, a river and plenty of woodland. Especially good to visit now in the spring as you will see ducklings and baby swans in the pond. You can also walk along the river, surrounded by trees. It's a very busy place, lots of people with dogs so smell is not the best.”

“St. George’s Park is a true oasis of peace and nature. Walking along its paths, you can admire the picturesque pond, where majestic swans and ducks glide gracefully. The singing of birds creates a pleasant, soothing atmosphere, and now, in spring, the entire park blooms with a riot of colors—flowers adorn the lawns, adding a unique charm to the place. It is the perfect spot for relaxation, rest, and a moment of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you're looking for a peaceful walk surrounded by nature, St. George’s Park is an excellent choice!”

“Tons of open space for kids to run around and play, very well kept together . Dog friendly as well... Fantastic place to spend a few hours or a day with a picnic.”

“Our new home ground for under 13s football. Beautiful, well maintained ground with changing rooms, showers, full size goals. Pitch is nicely level and cut very well. The cafe, toilets and benches add to the utility and make the three hours on a saturday morning very pleasant indeed.”

“Newark Park is a real hidden gem! We had such a wonderful time exploring both the house and its stunning grounds. The historic house itself is fascinating, and the volunteers inside were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing all sorts of interesting stories about its rich past. It felt like stepping back in time while still being warmly welcomed. The outdoor spaces are just as impressive – beautiful gardens, open lawns, wooded walks, and plenty of spots to simply sit and enjoy the scenery. We were delighted to see peacocks gracefully wandering around, adding an extra touch of charm to the day. For families or anyone looking for some active fun, the summer activities were fantastic. We loved seeing games like outdoor chess, croquet, badminton, skipping, and more set up on the lawns. It really gave the visit a playful, relaxed atmosphere. The mix of history, nature, and hands-on fun makes Newark Park perfect for all ages. Whether you want a peaceful walk, a bit of history, or a family day outdoors, it has it all. We left feeling happy, relaxed, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!”

“Great amusements, combined with animals, a small indoor zoo, a mini train, a mini Jeep ride, a massive play barn for all child ages, a cafe, restaurant, shop, picnic areas, a hedge maze, playgrounds including a giant bouncy pillow thing, boats, high rope activity, friendly staff, family safe environment. WiFi is available free of charge but limited phone signal. I particularly liked the new crazy golf, amazingly creative and attractively done. Really good job everyone!!! (So much there that I've probably forgotten something!)”

“Highly appreciated Priscila, she is super nice and full of smile. Food tastes delicious. Place comfortable and relax. Good restaurant.”

“I had a mac n cheese bowl and one of their many ridiculous matcha flavours (hot matcha with caramel). It was all very delicious and the staff are lovely. Had a seat in the corner. It is a bit noisy and is mostly 2 seater tables, not loads of comfy seating. I did go at a busy time.”
