Walk Bristol’s Secret River
Walk the route of the River Frome as it winds underground through the centre of Bristol with BART’s new Secret River Trail.
The Bristol Avon Catchment is a unique and beautiful network of rivers, streams and lakes, with the Bristol Avon at its heart. Stretching 75 miles from its source in Wiltshire, to its confluence with the River Severn in Bristol, the River Avon and its tributaries are the lifeblood of the area and they are under constant threat.
Bristol Avon Rivers Trust (BART) is working hard to protect our rivers for the benefit of people and wildlife.
