St Anne's Wood & Nightingale Valley
Four MA students (Archaeology for Screen Media) from Bristol University have created a short film about this stretch of Brislington Brook - including St Anne's Well. This forms part of the Discover Brislington Brook project, and features contributions by two BCAP members. The film is only three minutes long so there's no excuse for not watching!
Take a moment to enjoy a dip in the timeless countryside that flows through our modern suburban landscape.
