For the Bristol Walkfest in 2019 which runs all May we have two events using the Walk.

On Saturday 11th May at 2pm starting from Bristol Temple Meads; but this time we are doing it in reverse.
Not by walking backwards around the route but instead of starting with the Cut/Arnos Vale Cemetery going through Victoria Park first and finishing at Arnos Vale Cemetery etc. The short and long routes are both on offer.
For further details and how to book a place go to – 
www.bristolwalkfest.com/event/the-skyline-walk-in-reverse/
There is also a walk along the long route a day later (the 12th) starting at 10.30am from Temple Meads.
This is Long Route only.

Temporary Route changes – Frequently asked questions – Updates 

This section we hope people will find helpful as it gives you information which will help you enjoy the route:

Temporary Route changes:
1) Q – With building works around the start of the walk at Temple Meads, Cattle Market Road and the Avon Walkway for the Bristol Arena and related developments will the route change?
A – the route may change as the work progresses. Please follow the directions put up to show diversions, but bear in mind that the diversion may be different if you visit more than once. Once the works have been finished we will be reinstalling roundels to help people find their way around.

2) Q – Will the Filwood Quietway works on the Northern Slopes and in Victoria Park affect the routes?
Long Route – The Filwood Quietway works in these two areas will be taking place between March 2018 and February/March 2019.

A – The routes are now fully open.

On the Northern Slopes the route is crossed/shared with a cycle track so be aware of cyclists.
Work around the entrance to Victoria Park at Hill Avenue is taking place between March and May 2019 which may affect the Short Route. If the entrance is closed, walk up Nutgrove Avenue in parallel with the route.

Frequently Asked Questions and updates to booklet.

1) Q – Who designed the birds next to the River on the first part of the walk?
A – Laura Williams

2) Q – You mention foraging opportunities as part of the walk – what kind of things can I forage for?
Firstly, please do not pick and eat anything do you not recognise. Also please do not pick everything from individual locations – please leave food for others and for wildlife. The more informal green spaces – the Slopes for instance; plus less managed parts of the formal Parks can be good for blackberries, sloe berries, elderflower and horseradish as examples. Perretts Park has a number of raised boxes which grow vegetables, salads and fruit. The availability of the food is of course seasonal.

3) Update – Redcatch Park
New Murals have been added to the Pavillion (see picture) along with a carved redwood bench in the shape of a fox. An information board paid for by the Walk is near the Car Park. A new community garden is open which has produce on sale and a coffee wagon “Roots” – details from www.facebook.com/redcatchcommunitygarden/

4) Update – Malago Greenway – Brixham Road open space.
The Berry Maze is a community project which is a unique maze made out of berry plants – 240 of them. The plants still have to grow, but the maze structure is there along with a lovely mosaic donated by a local school; and a huge 8x4m reproduction of the initial map of the maze drawn by 9 years old Harry Ward.
