Ashton Court Estate

One of Bristol’s most popular outdoor green spaces, Ashton Court Estate sits just outside the city yet feels wonderfully rural. Spanning an impressive 850 acres, the estate offers a mix of wide-open parkland, woodland trails and small pools, making it an excellent choice for dog walking in all seasons.

There’s plenty of variety underfoot, with both paved paths and more rugged, off-the-beaten-track routes to explore. Dogs will love the freedom of the open spaces, and there are several shallow pools dotted around the estate where they can cool off on warmer days.

Ashton Court is also home to a large herd of deer, which are safely enclosed within fenced areas. This means you can admire them from a distance without worrying about any unexpected chase scenes.

The on-site cafés are dog friendly and provide water bowls for thirsty pups after a long walk. Public toilets are also available at the café locations.

You can spend hours exploring Ashton Court, or take a shorter turn around the fields if you haven’t got as much time.
