A huge estate in North Bristol is the city’s best park, according to our readers.
Earlier this month, we asked you what the best park in Bristol is – and the results are now in.
Our readers believe that Blaise Castle, in North Bristol, is the city’s best park.
The Blaise Castle Estate is a 650 acre Grade II* registered parkland including children’s play area, museum and castle.
The estate is a local Site of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCI) covering 100 hectares, with woodlands, grasslands, streams, ponds, and caves.
It has an average rating of 4.6 on Google after receiving more than 5,000 reviews.
A recent reviewer wrote: “Lovely place to visit, museum and castle worth seeing, lovely walks, lots of people walking their dogs or going for a run, 2 parks, cafe, toilets, can get busy at weekends and holidays.”
And another one said: “This is a wonderful place with fantastic walks.”
Also making it to the top five were Victoria Park, St Andrew’s Park and St George’s Park, together with Page Park in South Gloucestershire.
In recent months, we have been looking for the best of the best in our city.
In November, we revealed that a pub in Bristol city centre serves the city’s best Sunday roast, according to our readers.
After more than 700 votes were cast, The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer on King Street was the clear winner after receiving 310 votes.
We have also found out where the city’s best greasy spoon is.

Furthermore, we have found a takeaway in South Bristol serves the best Chinese food in the city, according to our readers.
