This 130-acre nature reserve features a variety of habitats, including woodland, grassland, and scrub, which support a wide range of flora and fauna. The reserve has several walking trails, including the popular Uphill Hill Trail, which offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the Bristol Channel. Visitors can also explore the reserve's ponds, streams, and wetlands, which are home to various bird species, amphibians, and insects. The reserve is also a popular spot for picnics and relaxation, with several benches and scenic viewpoints throughout.
This place is pure magic. The views are insane. Absolutely worth visiting if you like unique nature.
Beautiful views well worth the walk. Lovely coffee and cake after in the marina.
Excellent views from the top over the Bristol Channel, Weston Super Mare, Brean Sands and even Wales on a clear day. Lovely old church and beacon on the site of a windmill. Worth the steep walk for the views.
Nice walk to see the views, small marina, beach parking PS6 , few pubs but not much nature while we were there but still worth a visit
I absolutely love this place, the views from the top are stunning Love walking around the churchyard too. Perfect on a beautiful day
A lovely spot here in Weston super mare. Uphill nature reserve. I recently did the walk here which i recommend. I started at Folly lane in the village. There isnt a car park at this end but plenty of street parking or as i did i parked near the boat yard and walked back to folly lane. The path goes past a static caravan park and leads into a woodland. Its sign posted well. I went through a gate on the right and continued up through the woodland. Its not a very steep climb. leading me through the trees and then what looked like a lovely meadow scattered with bluebells. at the point theres an opening in the trees and i walked out onto the Uphill hill. Here the field is full of buttercup flowers. the bright yellow against the green hill is a picture. I could see the Uphill beacon in the distance so i headed for that. its a stone tower on the hill top. legend has it. it was used to spot invaders way back in history and they would light Beacon to warn the locals. i also heard the Beacon is one of many with line of sight that reach all the way to Glastonbury. From the Beacon i could see the Church of St Nicholas. So i headed there. This Church is very old and located just off the Cliff top. I left the Church and headed back towards the Beacon going past it keeping it to my left. and headed down the hill towards the new coastal path Route 33. This path here is smooth tarmac. When i reached the path i turned right heading down towards the old Boat yard. This path took me along side of the rocky cliffs to my right. Uphill marine lake on my left and the old Church high on the hill top. Theres benches around here to sit. A litle further on and i could hear the clanging of bells or wires from the boat yard. and found a little cafe called Uphill Warf Cafe Bar. Theres seating outside and rails to lock up bicycles. theres toilets here but only for customers. I found a public toilet just outside the entrance to the boat yard as you leave turn left towards the beach and its about 100 yards on the right. I found a small car park on the loose ground just past the cafe. and another small car park at the entrance to the boat yard. Theres always plenty of near by street parking in the village. A real nice walk offering stunning views and full of bits of History.
