Oldbury Court Estate, Grade II listed park and garden in Fishponds, Bristol, England.
Oldbury Court Estate is a Grade II listed park in Fishponds featuring woodland areas, riverside paths along the River Frome, and open spaces designed for recreation. The grounds contain multiple walking trails that wind through varied landscapes, providing different routes for visitors to explore.
The site appears in the Domesday Book and took its current form in 1799 when Thomas Graeme engaged landscape architect Humphry Repton to redesign the grounds. This collaboration established the layout visitors see today.
The Snuff Mills Action Group organizes regular community events in the park, fostering local engagement through nature conservation and recreational activities.
The estate has two parking areas, restroom facilities with disabled access, and a cafe kiosk with terrace seating for visitors. The walking trails are clearly marked and accessible, allowing you to explore at your own pace.
The River Frome flows through the estate creating sections where visitors can watch for water birds such as dippers and, with patience, spot otters in the water. These encounters with wildlife add an unexpected layer to walks through the grounds.
