Ruins of a WWII anti aircraft battery fabled to be the location of a ‘mega-gun’, now doubling as a street-art gallery and occasionally a goat holiday home. Part of the Stoke Park Estate which is happy for bikes to roam the trails and paths in the area. The views from here are some of the best over Bristol. You can’t miss the place - just head for the telecoms tower which you can see for miles around. The battery is right underneath it.
