Brandon Hill, Public park in Bristol, United Kingdom
Brandon Hill features grassy slopes, a network of walking paths, native trees, and flowering meadows spread across two hectares in central Bristol.
Established in 1174 by the Earl of Gloucester, Brandon Hill became England's first public park in 1625, evolving from grazing land to urban green space.
The nature reserve, created in 1980 through collaboration between Avon Wildlife Trust and Bristol City Council, supports urban wildlife conservation initiatives.
Visitors can access Brandon Hill from multiple entry points including Jacob's Wells Road, Great George Street, and Berkeley Square, with wheelchair accessibility from select entrances.
The park functions as a natural refueling station for migrating birds, hosting northern European species like redwings and fieldfares during winter months.
