A new leisure complex with cinema, bowling and numerous restaurants. Just next to the council owned pool and gym centre, so you can work it all off again afterwards!text/html2010-02-23T19:44:22+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/44608Gordon James51.429918 -2.540076ST6270 : The A4, Bath Road at Brislington

As seen on a Sunday. This is a notorious traffic blackspot and most other times would be more or less solid traffic at least in one direction.text/html2010-02-20T23:52:23+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/44608Gordon James51.439569 -2.470412ST6771 : Oldland Common Tabernacle United Reformed Church

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1717891
The valley of the River Boyd is known as Golden Valley, possibly because in late spring when the sun rises over Lansdown the whole valley takes on a greenish-gold hue when seen from the west. The village of Wick can be seen in the distance.text/html2010-02-20T22:59:15+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/44608Gordon James51.446929 -2.473653ST6772 : Towards The Batch from Cowhorn hill

The east Bristol 'rurban fringe' is a mosaic of large housing developments interspersed with small areas of commercial properties - plus the usual pubs, clubs and churches of course.text/html2010-02-20T22:49:51+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/44608Gordon James51.451714 -2.468810ST6772 : Poplar Rd, North Common

Clearly 'non-estate', Poplar Rd has a mix of properties ranging from old cottages to modern houses.text/html2010-02-20T22:44:09+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/44608Gordon James51.447853 -2.467619ST6772 : North Common Village Hall

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1715152
These distinctive stones date from the 18th century, and were a bye-product of copper smelting in nearby Warmley. They are mostly silicates and iron oxide. Similar use of slag can also be found in the Wye valley.

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1710836
For now, the A4175 runs along the edge of the green belt. To the east lies Bath, to the west, Bristol. There has already been one application to build on the fields to the west of the road, which was turned down at both local and national level. There will undoubtedly be more.text/html2010-02-15T23:27:59+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/44608Gordon James51.440444 -2.453731ST6871 : Beach Hill
