On Sunday the 4 of November Ian and I made our first excursion to Ashton Court. It is surprising that it is the first time I have been there since it neighbors the UWE campus and I can even see part of the grounds from the front entrance or the canteen. I have also seen the red deer in the deer park when riding my bike to campus. The weather being absolutely lovely we decided to seize the afternoon and made the 50 minute walk to Ashton Court. The grounds were extensive. We first walked around the manor itself and witnessed a wedding party getting ready for photos. We saw a hot air balloon hovering nearby and got a good view of most of the city. Then we did a tour of the wooded walks endng up in both the fallow and red deer parks. We got quite close to some of the red deer with their impressive antlers. We also took note of the golf course which is supposedly only 5 pounds including club rental. We walked home via the suspension bridge thus making a giant loop.
