Soothing Walk along Conham Vale and Dundrige Park
- 2 months ago
Located between Conham River Park and Trooper's Hill near Hanham, on the border of St George, Dundridge Park and Conham Vale offer many varied picturesque walks.
The land was originally part of Kingswood Forest and later formed part of Dundridge farm with the farmhouse located behind the buildings that are now changing rooms.
In 1940, the land was bought by Bristol Corporation for use as a public park and recreation ground and during WWII, the fields were used for food production.
There is a free car park by Dundridge Park and the large, flat park has a play area which was revamped and extended in 2016 and football pitches, and is home to the Nicholas Wanderers AFC.
The Conham Vale woodland borders the park; a steep sloping woodland that used to be a quarry, now abundant with wildlife and bluebells in the spring.
The park is owned by Bristol City Council and maintained with the collaboration of the Friends of Dundridge Park.
