On the 'Ashton Court Estate' - Bower Ashton, Bristol
Ashton Court is a mansion house and estate to the west of Bristol in England. Although the estate lies mainly in North Somerset, it is owned by the City of Bristol. The mansion and stables are a Grade I listed building.[1] Other structures on the estate are also listed.
Ashton Court has been the site of a manor house since the 11th century, and has been developed by a series of owners since then. From the 16th to 20th centuries it was owned by the Smyth family with each generation changing the house. Designs by Humphry Repton were used for the landscaping in the early 19th century. It was used as a military hospital in the First World War. In 1936 it was used as the venue for the Royal Show and, during the Second World War as an army transit camp. In 1946 the last of the Smyth family died and the house fell into disrepair before its purchase in 1959 by Bristol City Council.
The estate developed from the original deer park and is Grade II* listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England. It is the venue for a variety of leisure activities, including the now-defunct Ashton Court Festival, Bristol International Kite Festival and the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. It is home to charity The Forest of Avon Trust.
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.[19]
At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2)[20] and with over 324 million people, the United States is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area,[fn 7] and the third-most populous. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city is New York City; twelve other major metropolitan areas—each with at least 4.5 million inhabitants—are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Riverside.

Long Ashton is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England. It falls within the Unitary Authority of North Somerset and is one of a number of large villages just outside the boundary of city of Bristol urban area. The parish has a population of 6,044.[1] The parish includes the hamlet of Yanley, and the residential area of Leigh Woods (although most of the woods themselves are in the neighbouring parish of Abbots Leigh).
The village is built on the south-facing slopes of a valley running from east to west, and on the old road from Bristol to Weston-super-Mare...

Ashton Court, Bristol UK
Just 2 miles from the centre of Bristol, Ashton Court Estate remains almost entirely surrounded by Somerset countryside. Owned by Bristol Council since the 1950's, the estate is now a major recreational area for Bristol and North Somerset.
The estate is about 850 acres of woodland and meadows with a large mansion, deer keepers cottage and 5 gatehouses or lodges.
This web site is about Ashton Court Estate as it is today. A mixture of ancient woodland its natural wildlife and many activities & events.
I favour the woodland walks, deer parks and other wildlife over the cycling, miniature railway, golf and other activities and enjoy the major events like the Balloon Fiesta. But whatever your preference Ashton Court Estate is well worth a visit.
I will just note that while I am a frequent visitor to the estate myself, I have no involvement in the estates business, see the links page to visit the Bristol Council website.

Urban Earth - Bristol, UK
As part of a University of Bristol PGCE Geography workshop I created this photo-video by walking from the rural outskirts of Bristol to the centre, taking a photo roughly every 15-20 steps.
It was carried out on Sunday 8th May 2011, between 5.30am - 10am which is why it's incredibly quiet.
Approximate route: Lawrence Weston - Henbury - Southmead - Henleaze - Clifton Downs - Whiteladies Road - Clifton Triangle - Park Street - City Centre - Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station.
The idea came from the Urban Earth project: and the Geographical Association.
