Location
Badock’s Wood covers an area of approximately 10 hectares. It is a small, semi-natural, broad-leaved woodland situated in a limestone valley (with adjacent areas of grassland) in the north-west of Bristol, between Henleaze and Southmead. It therefore provides a wildlife haven in an urban setting. To the north of the site, in an area of open grassland, is a Bronze Age burial mound (tumulus). The latter has been classified as “Middle Bronze Age, constructed about 1300BC” and is sometimes referred to as the “Southmead Round Barrow”.
We will meet at Badock’s Wood entrance, Lakewood Rd, Bristol BS10 5HW. What3words unions.photos.pulled
We hope to see lots of Spring woodland birds. It is a flat walk with two small hills and no stiles. It can be muddy and there are often a lot of dogs and their owners. The walk will take about an hour and a half, with the option of refreshments afterwards in Westbury-on-Trym.
