Check the closing time displayed ( 30m into the park) as you enter as these change with the season due to daylight.

Ashton Court Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Brilliant new bit of cyclepath across Ashton Court from the university buildings to the wide gravel track up to the gate at the southern end. Very wide and easy gravel, although can get busy with both cyclists, walkers and dogs so take it easy.

Look out for the parallel little singletrack in the trees if that's more your bag.

View of Clifton Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

An excellent spot to sit before the crowds arrive later in the day and, early in the morning, the area is full of bunnies.

Ashton Avenue Bridge

Highlight • Monument

Opened in 1906 as a double decked swing bridge for road and rail traffic.

The bridge is now used for cyclists, pedestrians and Metrobus.

Chocolate Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Locally referred to as the Chocolate Path due to its paving blocks resembling chocolate bars, this waterside walkway was constructed in 1906, coinciding with the Bristol Harbour Railway's connection between Ashton Bridge and Wapping Wharf.
