Bristols Brilliant Archaeology Day 13 Sept 2025

There is a cafe at the car park and the free entry museum adjacent to the display areas is well worth a visit. The museum is sited in extensive open and wooded grounds which includes an Iron Age hillfort and a prominent C18th folly tower that gives the site the name of ‘Blaise Castle;’.
