Bennett’s Patch & White’s Paddock Nature Reserve
Bennett’s Patch and White’s Paddock Nature Reserve sits within the Avon Gorge and was created as part of Bristol’s European Green Capital celebrations in 2015. The 12-acre site, once a sports ground, has since been transformed into a meadow that now supports a rich variety of wildlife.
One of the reserve’s most recognisable features is the striking wicker whale sculptures, originally commissioned to raise awareness of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans. These much-loved landmarks are clearly visible from the A4 Portway and now form part of the reserve’s landscape.
The nature reserve is managed by Avon Wildlife Trust.
There is no direct parking at the reserve itself. Access is via neighbouring green spaces, either through Bishops Knoll (with the nearest parking on Bramble Drive, BS9 1RE) or via Old Sneed Park Nature Reserve (parking at Glenavon Park, BS9 1RW).
