Ashton Court Estate
Eight hundred acres of parkland and deer just over the suspension bridge, free.
Cross the bridge and you are in a country estate: deer parks, mountain-bike trails, a mansion and a café, with the city spread out below. It is free, and the balloon fiesta happens here in August. A fine-weather choice with room for everyone.
When it works
Outdoors: pick a dry day. Best morning, afternoon.
Good for kids, dogs and locals' favourite.
