Clifton Downs

If you want somewhere to walk which is quite vast and also quite pretty and unique, then this is the place to go. With Free parking along all the edge of the Clifton Downs, you can park and explore as much as you want. There are lots of benches scattered around for you to enjoy a sit down and rest your legs, the downs are also dog friendly and it's the perfect place to take them for a walk or run around.

We went this time to visit and see the Born Free sculptures. Despite grotty British weather it was pleasant, clean and tidy. The Lion sculptures were brilliant, of excellent scale, quality and really informative. I was pleasantly surprised to see no vandalism or graffiti at all so they have clearly been well received and respected.
We had a beautifully huge ice cream from the van there and admired the view of the Clifton Suspension Bridge before heading to Park Street and the Centre.

Despite being an overcast day on 30.7.22, a family get together to see the Lions on the Downs was an enjoyable day. The lions exhibition was magnificent. The kids however wanted to climb on them and once they had seen a few lions, they begged for ice cream!

Born Free Forever exhibition well worth a visit, beautiful sculptures in a lovely setting. Easily accessible and free. Lots of space to wander in and dog friendly.

Great for some fresh air either a stroll with your dog, a jog or a good long walk to ‘blow out the cobwebs’. Pleasant views of the Avon gorge and Clifton Suspension Bridge. Ice cream normally available at lookout. It’s a life long friendly open space.

Run, walk, cycle Clifton Downs you can do it all, plenty off free parking round the fields and lots of open space weather your a fitness fanatic or like to chill and have a picnic and walk the dog. Plenty of organised sports are on through out the year (probably have to be a member of those though) and during the summer months lots of events occurring too.
If you like the outdoors get yourself over there and enjoy.

Absolutely beautiful wide open space with amazing views of the Bridge and River - perfect for a romamtic walk and there is a lovely little cafe that serves vegan and gluten free cake as well as delicious coffee to hide in when it rains!

Beautiful place to go for a walk or to chill out. A great meeting place and ideal in the summer. Breathtaking views over the gorge.
