We visit a woodland near a former railway line with a welcoming cafe, stunning views and a pond
- last month
Located near the Bristol to Bath Cycle path, Warmley Park Forest is a 9.95-hectare woodland with large open grasslands and a large pond.
The park is located on the former site of an extensive clay quarry which until recently lay derelict but is now popular with locals for walks and runs.
Alongside the forest park are the remains of the Dramway and former Midland Railway line between Bristol and Bath which is now the Bristol and Bath Railway Path. The signal box remains and is open to the public most Saturdays from 2pm to 4pm.
There is a lovely cafe next to the entrance to the park where visitors can go for a meal or drink after a walk through the park.
There are bicycle racks near the cafe and free parking on Station Close.
