Much of Redland Green was ancient farmland. Four of the ash trees on the Green are between 300 and 400 years old – look out for the tree with two trunks. They provide an important habitat for a variety of wildlife and have been protected with the support of the local community.

Step back in time as you walk from the station bridge through a long avenue of lime trees and original Victorian black lamps. Created in the late 1800s this walkway is particularly impressive in autumn when the fallen leaves create a dazzling golden carpet.

Full of an impressive variety of mature trees and plants, Cotham Gardens are perfect for escape and play. Picnic benches are scattered throughout the park and there is a playground for children and young people. Visit the human sundial and tell the time with your own shadow, or discover the distance between Bristol and its twinned cities on the Topograph.
