Water park in Bristol

“A characterful manor and stunning gardens in Italianate style and stunning setting. Lunch in the smart indoor/outdoor restaurant was delightful, presented and served most professionally. We did not sample the equally smart café but it looked first-class. All this made for a great visit and birthday lunch, all for a modest entrance fee.”

“My favourite stop between Bristol and Bath. Absolutely beautiful and a lovely attraction to add to your journey. Cheap prices and a fantastic range of different meals I am stunned at what they can provide! A wonderful place to stop if you're cycling past on the Bristol / Bath Cycle Path. There is also a fantastic charity called wheelers that runs next to the waiting rooms that helps people with accessibility needs enjoy the wonders of cycling, I would highly recommend!”

“Lovely place to come with kids or family. Big play area with toilets next to it. There are paths down to the river which can provide shade in the summer. The hill to the river can be quite steep for some.”

“Excellent house and gardens. Beautifully decorated for the festive season.”

“Amazing food…..large portions very fresh definitely be back soon”

“Blaise Castle is a hidden gem in Bristol. The stunning landscape and picturesque surroundings make it a perfect spot for a leisurely walk or a family picnic. The castle itself is charming and steeped in history, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. The grounds are well-maintained, and there are plenty of trails to explore, making it a great place for both kids and adults. The views from the castle are breathtaking, especially on a clear day. I also loved the nearby café, which has a lovely selection of snacks and drinks. The atmosphere is relaxed, and it's a great place to unwind after exploring the area. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Blaise Castle if you're in Bristol. It's a wonderful blend of nature, history, and tranquility!”

“Lovely lodge everything you need. Kids very impressed with WiFi. Bistro on site amazing food and value for money cost online with any pub you go to staff all lovely. 15m drive to bath ( in bath no free parking for disabled and expensive ) Only complaint was did put on booking someone with mobility issue but parking on a slight incline (luckily the person with mobility issues didn't come) so was not a issue in this occasion but could of been. Curtains a bit frayed but no means spoilt the visit. Would def go back.”

“Lovely gardens behind the Holbourne museum. A play area for children and walks along with benches for you to sit and read or relax and pass the time on a sunny afternoon. Gardens are well maintained and beautifully presented.”

“I visited Bath for the day and didn't really feel at ease until I stepped into the garden. Quiet, peaceful, and only steps away from the city.”

“Amazing mesmerising venue, experiencing the Bridgerton filming scene. The sunny day definitely added another level of contentment.”

“Beautiful place to visit and free entry, surrounding grounds are a lovely walk, the castle itself was very interesting and was a real mix of history. Thoroughly recommend for an afternoon out, there is a cafe and facilities on site, along with a small gift shop.”

“Wonderful place to visit in any weather, lovely walks in all directions well worth a visit ,make sure when the cafe is open if you fancy drinks”

“Really really nice spot. Great views from the top of the bridge and surrounding Bristol. The cave was very fun too. Very good for the price (£3 each).”

“A real gem with abundant wildlife and lots of climbing and outdoor fun for the kids. Parking can be tricky but worth it. Pack a picnic and spend the day enjoying nature! Highly recommend!”

“This place is so good, massive open spaces, so many different animals, and they're all sooo friendly! Got to feed the llamas and goats and the bags of feed are very cheap There are food and drinks on site, and lots of covid safe places”

“A. Lovely place four a walk and watch the birds”

“My favourite place to go for walks and just enjoy the peaceful and beautiful Harbourside. Plenty places for food and drinks and in summer time it’s absolutely stunning.”

“Amazing fresh pizza and fab gluten free options. Friendly staff and lovely buzzing atmosphere. We sat outside - outdoor seating is on the main road but lovely to people watch. Would definitely recommend lunch deal - small pizza and dip for £9.”

“Beautiful and super conserved historical site. Tickets include audio guide with so much information. I'd recommend at least 2h for your visit if you want to take it all in and not rush.”

“A beautiful place. We had walked the canal path from Bradford on Avon, nice and flat and lots of barges along the way. We'll worth a visit especially the aqueduct. Also a great tea room there.”

“Beautiful historic bridge with lovely views of the river and weir. Great spot for photos and a peaceful walk and a must-see in Bath! Beautiful city full of history and charm. Stunning architecture, relaxing Roman Baths, and lovely riverside walks. Bath is always a joy to explore!”

“Perfect place for nature lovers and for wild swim. Beautiful little waterfall and scenery around it amazing good spot for photography.”

“Easy parking, Big animal area but not too big for toddlers to get around. Nice play park area with slides and forts to climb. Plenty of picnic benches to eat snacks. Really this place is just perfect for younger children. Nice staff too. Will definitely make this a regular place to visit ☺️”

“We headed down to Clevedon Marine Lake for a summer solstice swim – my wife, a few friends, and me – and it was honestly the perfect way to mark the longest day. This time of year, the lake is unbeatable. The water was clear, the mood was relaxed, and the pontoon in the middle was a hit with the kids (and yes, I couldn't resist a few somersaults myself). It’s a great spot for all ages – plenty of space for serious swimmers, but also for those just there for a splash and a laugh. Loads of fair-weather swimmers like us enjoying a refreshing evening dip. I’ve dabbled in winter swimming here too… others are clearly tougher than me, but full credit to them! Year-round, it’s such a brilliant community space.”

“Did one of their experience days with my Dad this weekend. Fantastic day. Learned a lot and enjoyed being able to hold the birds. Highly recommend a visit! I think we’ll go back to see the other animals at the centre on one of their open days if possible. A slight heads up, one of the flights of the birds involved having an owl fly to you and being able to hand feed it some raw chicken. The chap did ask if anyone wasn’t comfortable with touching the raw chicken piece. Normally I wouldn’t be comfortable without immediately washing my hands (which would have been impractical) but this was not my first bird of prey experience so I was prepared with sanitising hand wipes. But it was good of them to check everyone was okay with it. Just something to consider if you’re going to do an experience and are a bit icked out by that part.”

“Great place to walk and play with your dog. Good place for children and families to connect with nature.”

“Great dog walk by a river. Autumn leaves for dogs to run in”

“Excellent Fish & chips, all cooked fresh, generous portions,very friendly service,”

“Very nice cafe. Really nice breakfast. We will definitely come here again. Clean and tidy place throughout.”

“Went to priors woods with a public transport where we got off at station road on the bus. It took us about 15 minutes to the starting point of the woods. Initially you can still hear the traffic but as you go in further you will be in the wonderland of blue bells! We went there when it was rainy so definitely needs a hiking shoes that are rain proof. The blue bells were absolutely beautiful!!! Highly recommend to see them :) Some of the paths are less labelled so having more signs could be helpful. There was a big tree that seemed to have felled recently on the road so we could not have done the whole path but other than this great walk :)! Highly recommend :)”
