Highwaymen, colliers and loo ladies; legionnaires, suffragettes and Cavaliers; gibbets, turnpikes and flying machines: all have played their extraordinary part in the fascinating and hidden past of Bristol’s ‘jewel in the crown’ – the Downs.
Join writer and well known story-walker, Clare Reddaway for a stroll through the past as she weaves stories from the rocks and meadows beneath your feet, and see the Downs through a lens you’ve never discovered before!
