Valley Of The Giants: Nature Walking Tour

Did you know that Bristol has it’s very own rainforest? Hidden in a valley carved by giants, in a story of love, lust and strong scrumpy cider? And at it’s heart, a secret fairytale castle with views reaching all across Bristol?

Join James on an adventure around Blaise Castle Estate: a historic woodland valley that’s been home to giants, ghosts, Celts, Romans and robbers throughout the ages. Today it’s home to a huge variety of native and exotic trees, luscious ferns, velvety moss, dramatic limestone cliffs and secret caves waiting to be discovered. All just a stone’s throw from Bristol; you have to see it to believe it!

This guided walk blends history, storytelling and nature connection to help you experience the Great Outdoors like never before. Through stories and sensory exploration, you’ll learn about the local landscape while getting all the benefits of being in nature: lowered stress, improved mood, immune system boosted, and the rest. It’s fun, it’s fascinating, and you’ll feel amazing afterwards. Win win!

This walk is suitable for youngsters seeking adventure; visitors seeking entertainment; Bristolians seeking to know more about their city; or anyone that needs a break from screens, emails and red pinging notifications. All ages are welcome, but a minimum level of mobility is required for gentle walking, occasional steep paths and possible muddy sections.
