Bristol Urban Nature Map

Regular price £10.00

The Bristol Urban Nature Map is a large folded map that shows Bristol as a landscape rather than a road network. It brings the city's parks, woodlands, nature reserves, playing fields, rivers and the Avon estuary to the front, and marks walking and cycling routes, viewpoints and places to get outdoors – from long distance regional trails to short city hikes. On the back is an atlas of seasonal ideas, small adventures and ways to connect with Bristol's wildlife.

A folded map of Bristol – for walking, cycling, hiking and seeing the city differently.
