HUNDREDS, if not thousands, have enjoyed its spectacular views, and now the Bristol South Skyline Walk is marking its first anniversary with – what else? – a good walk. The Skyline aims to become one of the best-known walking destinations in the city, linking green spaces from Arnos Vale cemetery to Redcatch and Perretts parks in Knowle to the the three sections of Northern Slopes and back towards the city centre through Victoria Park. It will be one of the prime attractions during May’s month-long Bristol Walking

Festival, and on Saturday May 7 all are welcome to join a guided exploration of the Skyline, starting from Temple Meads station at 2pm. It marks the first birthday of the initiative and gives a chance to join long or short versions of the route. The long route is seven miles and takes four to five hours; the shorter version is two miles, is mainly on paved surfaces
and takes one to two hours. This year the walk has won the backing of tourism chiefs at Destination Bristol. A free booklet – available from the tourist office at Canon’s Road on the harbourside and from the address below – describes the route in detail and shows the attractions, facilities and wildlife

that can be found along the way. It also has nuggets of local history. Did you know that a medieval water pipe runs from an ancient spring on Northern Slopes right into the city centre? “It’s not just promoting the walk and the views,” explained Len Wyatt, one of the founders of the walk and part of the Northern Slopes Initiative. “The booklet is also about promoting the local community and telling people where they can stop for refreshments.” Last year’s walk from Temple Meads attracted about 70 people, and the organisers are hoping for just as good a turnout this year. The Skyline Walk is one of the lasting legacies of Bristol’s Green Capital year 2015, and is supported by most local park and community groups. For a free guide to Skyline, visit the website or write to BSSW, c/o 67 Beckington Road, Knowle BS3 5ED. • wwwbssw.org.uk • www.bristol.gov.uk/streetstravel/bristol-walking-festival
