Troopers Hill Local Nature Reserve in St. George, East Bristol, is on a hillside overlooking the River Avon. The hill has been quarried and mined in the past and contains a fascinating mix of history, wild plants and animals. With heather and broom, rocky crags, spoil heaps and gullies, stunning views and 2 listed chimneys it is one of the most spectacular wildlife spots in the city. Troopers Hill has been awarded a Green Flag for each of the last 3 years. Only one other site in Bristol, Clifton Downs, has achieved the same number of Green Flags. Partner: Friends of Troopers Hill Address: Troopers Hill Local Nature Reserve, Troopers Hill Road, St. George OS Grid ref: ST628731 Opening hours: At all times Further information: The postcode BS5 8JA will take you straight to Malvern Rd if you have a satellite navigation system. Wheelchair access is via a large metal kissing gate at the east end of Malvern Rd. Most wheelchairs will pass but the larger motorised chairs may not. If you require a key please contact friends@troopers-hill.org.uk. The track is hardsurfaced but it is not perfectly smooth. The track will take you to the top of the Hill, along a relatively flat route (there are some minor slopes) to enjoy the fantastic views.
