Walking on the Wildside in Stoke Park

A collaboration with Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust, Bristol City Council and Steve England Outdoor Learning.

We are working together to promote community conversations about your heritage conservation priorities and which access improvements are needed for Stoke Park.

Thank you to everyone who was brave enough to ignore the forecast and join us for another Walk on the Wildside event on Wednesday. This was our 10th event in this exciting free programme and after a slightly damp start the sun came out for this Less Walk More Talk event. This walk made use of the accessible path and avoided any steep inclines or steps.

We took our time and enjoyed learning about the different wildlife that call Stoke Park home- including so many different bird species and some amazing luminous fungi. We were also lucky enough to hear and see the ring-necked parakeets and there was lots of time for questions as we progressed through the woods.

During our walk we visited some of the historical features including the pillow mounds, ancient drainage ditches and the tunnels and we discussed the importance of the project and how the surveys are supporting people to join the conversation and shape the future of Stoke Park.

“I had such a nice time- this project is a great idea and I learnt lots”

“Everytime I attend a walk I learn something new”

“We have recently moved here so it has been super useful coming on the walk and a really nice way to meet others”


Thank you to the group for being so cheerful and engaging- it was a pleasure to spend the morning together. Please don’t forget to complete your feedback!
