Dundry and Maes Knoll

We did the Dundry and Maes Knoll walk yesterday from Robin Tetlow’s Beyond Bristol: 24 Country Walks.  The walk is just to the south of Bristol, and there are great views over the city to the north and southwards over Chew Valley.  The weather was good to start with, but by the end of the walk it was starting to snow.  A highlight of the walk is Maes Knoll, an iron age hill fort dating to about 250 BCE.  The tower of St Michael the Archangel church in Dundry was built in 1484 by the Society of Merchant Venturers as a landmark visible from the Avon.
