Ashton Court Estate
The Ashton Court Estate was once the gracious home of the Smyth family, and is now a historic park near the centre of Bristol. It covers 850 acres of woods and grasslands in total, designed by Humphry Repton.
Visit the Ashton Court Estate to discover the magnificent old oak trees and see the deer graze in an estate that first became a deer park over 600 years ago.
On the estate's higher ground, there are two 18-hole pitch-and-putt golf courses, with stunning views across the city. Orienteering and mountain biking are catered for with special trails, and there is plenty of open space for family games and picnics. There is also a miniature railway, which is open at selected weekends throughout the year.
Look out for major annual events such as the International Balloon Fiesta in August and Bristol International Festival of Kites and Air Creations in September.
The visitor centre in the stable block of the mansion provides information on the history of the Ashton Court Estate, a multimedia visitor guide (visual and audio), trail maps and details of activities and events.
