Road directions
From the M32 motorway heading into Bristol.
Leave at junction 2 making a right turn onto Muller Road. This is a horrible and huge roundabout and it is very easy to take the wrong turning and leave the roundabout one turn early entering the Tesco's carpark! Keep your eyes peeled and watch out for motorists changing lanes at the last minute.. Go straight through the traffic light controlled crossroads, and take the second left into Stottbury Road just before the pedestrian crossing. Park the car close to Spalding Close and look for the footpath between houses on the right hand side directly opposite AllFoxton Road. Follow the footpath until you reach the railway footbridges then pick a spot.
Total time about 5-10 minutes from Motorway.
