My favourite park in Bristol as it’s close to my work I often come here for my luck when weather is nice, in summer time is great spot for picnics and chilling with friends. Nice pathways for walks or jogging, beautiful views over Avon river. And it has plenary chairs for sitting, in summer when all the flowers booms it really nice and relaxing and even in rainy days is still nice to go for a walk in lunch break when work gets too stressful. It’s close to lots of buns and restaurants and it’s very central. Across the street there is Broadmead shopping Center and close to Cabot Circus Shopping Center too.

Castle Park (containing St Peter's Church and some other small memorials) has an overwhelming and consistent smell of weed mixed with urine which is not nice is. It is also home to many tents and lots of empty alcohol bottles and tins. Certainly wouldn't like to walk through there at night, but on a sunny autumnal day it was quite pleasant, smell aside. You cannot enter the church but you can wander around the outside within the park. An offshoot of the River Avon flanks its southern border. Entering the park via Castle Bridge (pedestrian) is lovely.

If you love Archaeological sites, this is a nice place to visit. Also it is beautiful park with a water body around. This place is very close to Cobot Circus mall. Lot of place for sitting and chatting. Beautiful wind and greenery. Remains are Church are really interesting for people who like to see such old objects. Though it's closed and we can't go inside... Still from outside it's very amusing site. Also a old well is maintained there with a glass cover. So you can actually stand on top of the river and observe it below.

A very nice park in the city centre to chill out in the sun on an afternoon or early evening. Usually quite busy with good people watching. Bristol castle used to stand here which if you're into history is quite interesting, but read up on it beforehand, there are no guides here, just an info plaque here and there. In the middle(ish) stands an old church, bombed during the war and never renovated, looks nice with nature taking it back over. More green than as shown in my pictures

Great place for a picnic, or just some leisure on the grass. Plenty of space to sit in the shade or in the sun. Has biking lane and you can take the ferry for just £2 for 10 minutes. The castle and the canal are nice sights as well. Beware of seagulls: they're very experienced in stealing people's food, even knocking it out of your hand, on rare occasions. Otherwise a lovely, chilling place.
