Blaise Castle


Blaise Castle estate is in the north of Bristol and is a large parkland and wooded area visited by many. It has a lovely play area for children and has recently been updated with a nice indoor cafe.


At the end of a not too strenuous uphill walk, using gravelled pathways, there is a large open grassy area within which sits Blaise Castle.


The castle itself is fairly modest in size, more a large tower come outpost, presumably used in years gone by to keep a look out over what is now residential areas.


I took this photo several summers ago and think it captures the essence of the place!!
