All Saints' Walks For Everyone
These guided, monthly walks began after Covid for health and social reasons, but are built on a long history of ASC walks at pivotal points of the Christian year. Our walks are suitable for everyone, and well behaved dogs are very welcome, too!
WHEN?
-
Walks are on the 2nd Saturday of each month – plus some Bank Holiday Monday walks; we meet outside All Saints Church, Clifton, and leave promptly at 10.45am, usually returning by 1pm. Timings and meeting point may vary occasionally depending on the walk.
WHO?
-
Walks are led by one of a team of enthusiasts, and are always fun, even in the rain. Sometimes there’s even a handout! Number of walkers vary from 5 to about 15. No need to book; just turn up on the day!
WHERE?
-
Walks are often on The Downs, but we also visit other interesting areas of Bristol.
-
Recent walks include:
-
Exploring the flora and fauna of The Downs - led by Tim Dowling
-
The Royal Fort - led by Mary Benton
-
Sea Mills (by train from Clifton Down Station) - led by Georgina Harford

Previous Walks
Walk from Kings Weston to Blaise - Saturday 9th November 2024
Eight walkers and three dogs travelled by bus from Clifton Down Shopping Centre to The Echo at Kings Weston, and took a thoroughly enjoyable walk over the newly restored cast iron bridge, and on to Blaise. Interesting sights and great conversation was enjoyed by all. The return bus journey home was long but provided the chance to continue conversations and rest weary legs!
We're looking forward to Mary Benton leading our Saturday 14th December walk, and there will probably be a New Year's Day walk too - more information on both of those walks coming soon.
Walk at Shirehampton on Armistice Day – Saturday 11th November 2023
On this rare, crisp autumn day, the ASC walk at Shirehampton visited the Daisy Field. There we found the newly installed Horse, commemorating the 350,000 horses of the WW1 Shirehampton Remount Depot. The Horse is the work of local riders – their horseshoes sculpted by their farrier. We were delighted to find it fully decorated with recyclable poppies and a poem, and it was a great opportunity to share our own WW1 family stories.
