Brandon Hill brings a small nature reserve into a much loved Bristol park. Its meadow, pond and wooded edges offer a different reason to visit from the familiar city views around Cabot Tower. The setting is close to the centre, but the hillside deserves careful planning if slopes are difficult for you.
