Frome Valley Walkway

The path continues through parkland to Frampton Cotterell, then south of Iron Acton before it reaches Yate and the Goose Green Fields Nature Area.

It is, however, possible to continue along the Cotswold Way to Tormarton, past the source of the Frome, where there are views from the top of the escarpment.

The Frome Valley is an important place for wildlife, because it provides a green corridor of freshwater habitats, woodlands, parks and open spaces cutting through the built-up areas in Bristol and the towns and farmlands of South Gloucestershire.

[1] One of the last British populations of the endangered native white-clawed crayfish in the Bristol area was found in the river, but became extinct in 2008.

[2] Birds that can be seen along the walkway include the kingfisher, dipper, treecreeper, house martin, grey wagtail, nuthatch and other more common species.
