Eastwood Farm Local Nature Reserve is a little known wildlife haven by the side of the River Avon in Brislington, Bristol.
|
Eastwood Farm is owned by Bristol City Council and managed by Bristol Parks, it was designated as a Local Nature Reserve in January 2008. Formerly farmland, part of the site was used for landfill in the 1970s and there was a plan to build a road acoss it.The links below will tell you more about the site but it would be far better to pay us a visit!

Walking - there is access to Eastwood Farm LNR from Eastwood Road, Wyndham Crescent and Whitmore Avenue or you can catch the ferry across the river from the River Avon Trail at Conham when Beese's is open and access the site from the car parking area up the steps from their garden. Lunch at Beese's, a walk around Eastwood Farm and then a cream tea before heading home makes a great day out. Cycling - you can access Eastwood Farm by bike via any of the entrances described above, there are no surfaced paths - if you choose to cycle around the reserve please give priority to pedestrians. Cycles can be brought across on the Beese's ferry or secured near the shelter on the Conham side of the river. By bus - the entrance to Eastwood Farm from Whitmore Avenue is near the last stop on the number 1 bus route from the City Centre to Broomhill. By car - car parking is available on local roads or in the car park down at the bottom of the track to Beese's off Wyndham Crescent. Unfortunately due to changes in the way Bristol City Council manage the site it is no longer possible to access the site by car via the track from Whitmore Avenue - we are working with Bristol Parks to get this reopened in the future. The original Eastwood Farm building is privately owned and there is no vehicle access to the site via their driveway. You can also park at Conham and catch the ferry (see 'walking' above).
