streamside wildlife and a sculpture trail |
Willsbridge Valley on the edge of
Bristol is an oasis of wildlife amongst modern housing
estates. The valley was once the site of milling, quarrying
and a coal dramway.
What
to look out for
The valley contains many habitats. The woodlands are
at their best in spring, full of bluebells, red campion
and the sounds of birdsong. The ponds are important
homes for frogs, toads and dragonflies, and dippers
and kingfishers may be seen on the stream.
Foxes and badgers also live in the valley and noctule
and greater horseshoe bats feed on the many insects
in the valley. You can learn about the history of the
valley by following the heritage sculpture trail.
Access
Wheelchair access via Willsbridge Hill
to most of valley, exhibition and toilets.
