Discover Bristol: Snuff Mills and Purdown

Payment is in advance for this tour. Once you have booked your place on Meet Up, Steve will be in touch about paying the walk fee to secure your place.

Get your week off to a good start with two hours of guided walking in attractive surroundings with pleasant company.

The focus is very much on getting to know your fellow walkers, fresh air and gentle exercise. Exercise, socialising and learning are three out of the five steps to mental wellbeing.

On these Discover Bristol sessions Steve shares his extensive research on the wildlife, history, geography and geology of the city. There is also plenty of time to chat about random stuff that comes up along the way.

It is some time since we have explored Pur Down. So, let's go there! Lots of history, lots of wildlife and lots of space to wander with fine views across the city! An eighteenth century Dower House with its origins two hundred years earlier. And, a Second World War anti aircraft gun emplacement. Starting out from Snuff Mills also gives us the opportunity to enjoy the delights of spring in the gorge of the River Frome.

The pace will be modest and there will be plenty of time to enjoy convivial conversation.

We will finish with coffee in Snuff Mills Cabin Cafe.

This is a great opportunity to launch your week with a bit of leg stretching and some tongue wagging along the way.

A Walk in the Past is a friendly group where regulars and newcomers are always welcome. Our aim is to combine a good walk with pleasant company in historic landscapes.
