Discover Bristol: Bishopsworth Village and the River Malago

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.

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.

This week we are in the south of the city in search of what remains of the historic village of Bishopsworth. A manor house and a medieval church mentioned in Domesday Book? That should do the trick. But, for some reason, there were two manor houses in Bishopsworth. We will also be exploring the story of a vast Victorian brickworks - that has completely vanished without trace!

We enjoy a coffee in a local café at the end of our Monday morning Random Stuff in Bristol walks. This week we are at the Zion Community Cafe.

This is a great opportunity to start your week with a bit of leg stretching and some tongue wagging along the way. Exercise, socialising and learning are three out of the five steps to mental wellbeing.

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.
