Location & How to Find Us

We are based next to Leigh Court Farm, Abbots Leigh, BS8 3RA
(Please note: this is not Leigh Woods!)

Important: The postcode does not take you directly to our car park. Please follow the directions below.

By Car

Follow the A369 out of Bristol through Abbots Leigh.
Go past The George pub, continue past the bus shelter, and turn right at:

• the large green sign for Leigh Court, and

• the large sign for Bracken Wood Garden Centre

(If you are arriving from the Portishead direction, these signs will be on your left, partway up the hill.)

Our car park is 50 metres down this drive, the first turning on your left, directly opposite the Bracken Wood Plant Centre entrance. It is signposted:

“Leigh Court Farm Visitor and Bristol Forest School Parking.”

Please park on the right-hand side of the track to keep access clear for farm vehicles.

By Bus

There are two bus stops on either side of the main A369 near the turning for the forest school and plant centre.

We recommend using Google Maps for bus journeys, as it will guide you through any bus changes and walking routes—and will also direct you accurately to our woodland entrance.

As you approach the woods, look out for the ribbons hanging down on the left-hand side and follow these into the woodland.

By Bike

Cycling to the woods is a lovely option. Popular routes include:

• Through Ashton Court

• Via Leigh Woods

• Along the river towpath

• Up through Paradise Bottom

You may bring your bike all the way into the woods. A Forest School leader will show you where it can be safely left during the session.
