Join us for a summer evening walk through the beautiful, nature-rich Manor Woods Valley.

Led by ecologist Peter Loy-Hancocks and Richard Ennion from Bristol City Council's Parks Team, this guided walk will explore woodlands, meadows, the community orchard and the River Malago – including the only natural section of this South Bristol watercourse.

Along the way, we'll uncover the site's fascinating social, wartime and natural history, while discovering the wildlife and habitats that make this green space so special.
