We hope you enjoy your visit!
Where are the Reserves?
The two reserves lie on either side of Cheston Combe Road on the hillside above Backwell, seven miles southwest of Bristol. Click here for How to find the BET Reserves.
Jubilee Stone Wood Nature Reserve
Purchased in 2005, Jubilee Stone Wood Nature Reserve was the original reason for BET being formed and is full of interesting things to discover.
Badgers Wood Nature Reserve
Our second reserve, Badgers Wood, has a remarkably different feel to Jubilee Stone Wood, with fern-covered slopes, limestone cliffs and magnificent views over the adjacent quarry.
Footpaths and Trails
Within the reserves there are plenty of wonderful paths and sights to discover and enjoy.
Parking
One off-road parking space is available at the start of the wheelchair-friendly trail in Badgers Wood. Most visitors park in Church Town or at the top of Cheston Combe Road.
Wheelchair-Friendly Trails
BET is keen to be as inclusive as possible and has included some provision for people who are less mobile.
Ticks and Lyme Disease
Please be aware that there are ticks present in the BET woodlands, so it is sensible to take appropriate precautions to avoid being bitten.
