Strolling around Kingsgate Park, Yate Bristol

We went for a walk in this lovely park in Yate, it was a really warm early autumn afternoon we took our dog too.  I’d read there was a lake, so I loaded up a bag with chicken pellets and some chopped up iceberg lettuce, which our chicken love and so I thought I’d see if the ducks would appreciate them too.

The park has a number of entrances, we entered from a road named Elmwood, off of Sundridge Park.  There’s a small carpark there for approx 10 cars there is also lots of parking on the road.  The park is as you would expect full of mature trees and open grass land.   It has some nice additions, such as a very large Bug Hotel, Close to the Elmwood entrance and a large totem pole just in front of the entrance to the younger children’s playground which is in the centre of the park. 

There are quirky swings made from fallen trees, a climbing frame with tunnels and a slide, a junior roundabout, mini obstacle course, seesaw, tyre swings and plenty of seating.  It’s completely enclosed by a fence and surrounded by shrubs and trees.  There is normally an ice cream van in this area, but sadly that day we missed it.

Behind the junior park there is a more open area with a basketball court and more climbing obstacles, slides and seating.  A row of more trees separates this part of the park from the large bespoke climbing adventure park for the older children.  The adventure park has been built within the trees, making it feel like you are in the jungle.  There are rope walkways, rope bird cages, a small tree house, fireman poles and alongside there is a zip wire.  This section of the play area is also fenced for safety and dogs are not allowed.

Beyond the play area the lake is home to lots of wildlife.  The ducks and swans really enjoyed the chicken food and lettuce.  It was quite comical to watch the ducks diving down to reach the pellets as they sunk into the water.  There were young swans sitting on a floating island in the middle of the lake which eventually joined the adult swans to eat the food too. It’s surrounded by hilly grounds, there are lots of areas to explore and plenty of places to chill out and relax.

The Park hosts community events during the year such as an annual Easter Eggs Hunt and a number of Music Festivals, including “Yate Rocks” which is in it’s 13 th year, a free music festival also offering, dancing displays from local clubs and academies, arts & crafts, children’s activities and games and community stalls with a great range of local products, novelty gifts and a wide variety of refreshments.

A very popular café is just outside the park it’s called Vintage Birdcage Cakery, it’s a really beautifully decorated café with pretty bunting and fairy lights and serves breakfasts, loaded jacket potatoes, salads, sandwiches, paninis, toasties, baguettes, bespoke homemade cakes, cream tea, milkshakes etc including a children’s menu, the list goes on and caters for everyone.  They even make muffins for dogs.  Open every day until 4.30pm apart from Sunday when it closes at 3pm.    Website

Address – Kingsgate Park Sundridge Park, Yate, Bristol BS37 4EP  –  5.2 miles – 12 minutes from Bury Hill Farm by car.    Website

Review – August 2018

Lovely park, big play area with swings etc. and plenty of space to kick a ball around, a few picnic tables dotted around, also a lake with swans and ducks. Really well maintained. On the sides of the park is a pub and a beautiful cafe called the Birdcage, Both accessible from the park.

Review – July 2018

The team that runs the Park are always doing some fantastic family friendly events. It’s a good location not too far from the shopping centre and it has a great park for young and slightly older which is often maintained.

If you’re a Pokémon Go user there’s two pokestops and one pokegym so you’ll spend a while running between them and the not so far from that location either. Host to Easter events, Yate Rocks and a swan feeding pond (with food sold at a very close establishment) there’s always something to do.

In a city as vibrant and ever-evolving as Bristol, there is always somewhere new to explore.

As home to rich history and culture, endless activities to keep us busy and a special blend of urban and green spaces, there is plenty to see and do within the city's boundaries.

A change of scenery is welcome every now and then though, and we are lucky to be surrounded by some stunning countryside locations.

READ MORE: Beautiful waterfalls just an hour's drive from Bristol

Here are just a few of the villages within easy reach of the city, in Somerset and South Gloucestershire , which are worth the trip out:

Perhaps best known for its striking Grade II listed viaduct, Pensford lies in the Chew Valley about six miles south of Bristol city centre .

As a popular spot for ramblers, there is huge competition for parking so it is best to cycle or get the bus if possible.

There is a walking route taking in the pretty stone cottages, past the church and into the woodland and meadows all the way to the stone circle at Stanton Drew, before coming back into the village past Pensford Viaduct.

The George and Dragon and Rising Sun are both great spots for a post-walk pint, with the latter offering incredible roast dinners and an unrivalled view of the viaduct from its garden.

A half-hour drive outside of the city centre, just past Bristol Airport , will bring you to the North Somerset village of Wrington.

It was home to more than 2,600 villagers in the 2011 Census and they have a choice of places to convene at - The Plough Inn pub and The Ethicurean restaurant are both well-rated.

Take a tour of the Butcombe Brewery while you are there.

Situated beyond Keynsham in North East Somerset, the riverside village of Saltford is the ideal destination if you fancy a long bike ride along the Bristol and Bath Railway Path.

There are opportunities for paddle boarding and canoeing along the river there, although the banks of the river can get busy on a sunny day.

Bring along a picnic, or enjoy a bite to eat at the Riverside Inn, which overlooks Saltford Marina and also has an outdoor play area for children.

The pretty South Gloucestershire village of Wick is home to the Wick Golden Valley Nature Reserve, which makes for beautiful woodland walking.

There is a privately-owned quarry in part of the reserve, but this is fenced off as it is not publicly-accessible, and swimming is strictly prohibited. There are stunning views to be enjoyed there nonetheless, in the surrounding area.

Aside from the reserve, there is the Rose and Crown pub, which has a patio area outside where you can refuel on a warm day.

The River Avon runs through the North Somerset village of Pill, and there is a small harbour area where boats can be seen bobbing on the water.

Just four miles from Bristol city centre, it is within easy walking and cycling distance.

There are benches along the water's edge where people can sit and enjoy a picnic or a pint from the nearby Duke of Cornwall pub.

Winterbourne

JK Rowling grew up in this South Gloucestershire village, which is about eight miles outside of Bristol city centre.

The brick arches of the Huckford Viaduct cut through the expanse of fields on one side of the village, and on the other, you can find the Winterbourne Medieval Barn, which recently reopened after extensive renovation works.

There is a Co-op store just off the High Street and various other convenience stores to keep you fed and hydrated on a long walk.

This rural village lies between Bristol and Bath, and is home to the house and gardens of Kelston Park.

The Bath Soft Cheese Company is based here at Park Farm, and has an on-site shop and cafe selling its organic dairy produce, chutneys and refreshments.

There is also a pretty stone pub called the Old Crown Inn, which often has impressive floral displays outside in the summer, complete with cascading hanging baskets.

Cheddar is known around the world for its cheese and its spectacular gorge, and there is plenty to do during a day out at this Somerset tourist spot.

The village itself offers quaint tea rooms, cafes and gift shops, while other attractions on the doorstep include Cheddar Reservoir .

Independent brewery Cheddar Ales recently opened a new tap room just outside the village, also offering cider, gin, wine and sourdough pizzas.

Home to Thatchers Cider, which runs regular visitor tours, what more reason do you need to visit this peaceful part of Somerset?

The Railway Inn gastropub is run by Thatchers and is bursting with character inside, with huge beams propping up the ceiling and a sunny conservatory-style dining area.

The village's old railway station has also been turned into a small heritage centre, where people can buy refreshments and learn more about the local history.

Chew Magna is the largest village in the Chew Valley in Somerset, and is lined with some beautiful buildings including the Grade II listed Old School Room.

To make the most of your day trip, head south to the village of Chew Stoke and then on to the stunning Chew Valley Lake, which is a reservoir owned by Bristol Water.

There is a car park and visitor centre on site, and there is opportunity for sailing and bird watching as well as walking along the nature trail.

Sign up to our what's on newsletter here

Also close to Chew Valley Lake is the small village of Dundry, about six miles away from Bristol centre along the A38.

Walk up Dundry Hill for incredible views of the Bristol skyline, or wander past St Michael's Church, which has a tower dating back to the 1400s.

It is also within easy reach of the three reservoirs at Barrow Gurney, sometimes referred to as 'the tanks'.

Congresbury

The larger village of Congresbury also makes for a lovely spot to walk or cycle, with a good selection of pubs and restaurants along the way.

Head to Cadbury Hill, a designated nature reserve, for views over the countryside and to see the Iron Age hill fort.

Congresbury is also home to the North Somerset Bird of Prey Centre, which offers experiences including falconry days and bird of prey encounters.
