Ashton Court
The days have finally gotten brighter and longer! Although it’s definitely not spring yet you may have spotted the beginnings of it with snowdrops appearing. Ashton Court offers a beautiful setting for a romantic walk or space to get away from it all. The sixteenth century house is set amongst 850 acres of grass, woodland and gardens including a sunken rose garden! There are also two deer parks which are home to Fallow and Red deer, here’s hoping there’s nice weather!
Spike Island
Why not soak up some culture at Spike Island? They currently have multiple exhibitions of contemporary art on, including the first institutional solo exhibition by Libyan artist Nour Jaouda. Her work uses multi-layered textiles with different forms and colours to produce ‘landscapes of memory’ that reflect on her childhood in multinational childhood. Known for championing work by underrepresented artists the space is a creative hub that will allow you to pause for thought.

With local art on the walls and serving a good choice of drinks as well as vegan roasts on Sundays you can definitely spend a good few hours here.
