Sugar Loaf
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Amazing hike! Free parking - although the road to get there is quite tough (single lane, small passing places, bendy) We took the steep route up and the easier route on our way back down. Total time with breaks/lunch 3hrs. Beautiful views and super happy we got to see Pen y Fan. The peak itself was...

National Trust - Sugarloaf and Usk Valley
Scenic spot
👍👍 Steep single lane road, complete with hair pins to get to Glyn Tyrrel carpark. From there it is a not too difficult walk up to the base of the summit. The last part to the summit is steep but walkable. From there you can continue further along the ridge. About an hour from Glyn Tyrrel car park to th...

Eagle's Nest
Tourist attraction
👍👍 If you have a dog it’s better to use the Upper car park. It’s a fairly easy walk to the Eagles Nest view point. The views are probably the best in the area. The 365-steps aren’t suitable for dogs but the alternative route around the fields is an easy ramble. Prepare to lift dogs over scissor stiles...

Goram's Chair
Scenic spot
👍👍 I've lived next to blaise castle for 54 years played in the woods growing up.. the goram's chair is in the middle of the wood and is very difficult to get to as you have to climb down a slope to get to it..but once down the view you get of blaise is looking down on the man made pond and stream and a...

Sea Walls
Observation deck
👍👍 This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful spots in Bristol and one of my all-time favourite locations. Visit and you will see why. It's always got a vibrant feel to it, with all the people around enjoying the view and picnics with family and friends. The view is just spectacular. Did I menti...

Friars Point
Scenic spot
👍👍 Such a beautiful place to walk and relax. Stunning views, especially in the summer. Just a shame not everyone picks up there dogs mess or takes there rubbish away with them. Why they choose to spoil such a lovely area is beyond me.

Pontsticill Reservoir
Scenic spot
👍👍 Cracking view point of the reservoir. Some lovely views up the valley from here. Not the place to play on the water as such as there is a big overspill hole and you could end up doing a twenty minute free dive instead! Go up the other end of the reservoir if you want to do some actives/swim. This ov...

Pensford Viaduct
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Lovely spot to walk the dog, take the kids into the countryside, have a picnic, or a pint in the pub. We walked to Stanton drew, nothing to harsh, had a some food by the stone circle and headed back. The walk has some lovely river spots to relax and let the world trickle by...

National Trust - The Kymin
Scenic spot
👍 Beautiful views across to Monmouth. A steep and narrow approach road makes access a modest challenge but once there it's a lovely quiet place. The memorial is interesting, but the house was still closed. Both appeared somewhat incongruous as they look like they should be by the sea, and not on top o...

Chew Valley Lake
Tourist attraction
🫤 Great views from the areas you can actually get to. Attempted to walk entire way around the lake, but its a complete shambles. Hardly any proper paths, limited signage, plenty of road walking with cars out for a fast drive. Its a great shame, as with some investment and planning it could be inclusiv...

Taff's Well Thermal Spring
Scenic spot
😐 Came here today after a stroll in the area. We came across this accidentally and didn’t even know this existed. Unfortunately the gate was shut as the thermal spring is surrounded by a stone house! There is a gap in one of the windows so I was able to see in. To be honest it was dark and didn’t smel...
