Victorian Steps ST5643 7455

This line of path and steps down the gorge were restored by Bristol City Council, Public Rights of Way Department, at the instigation of FOD+AG with the support of the Downs Committee and the Society of Merchant Venturers.

Records from the 1880s show the line of the path and steps, so they are at least of Victorian origin.  Their restoration in 2015 ensured a lasting legacy to Bristol’s year as European Green Capital.  We hope the handrails make your trip through the gorge easier and that you take a moment to sit on a seat and enjoy the views and glimpse the goats.
