Troopers Hill is a beautiful nature reserve in Bristol, overlooking the River Avon. Once a quarry and mine, it’s now home to rare plants, wildlife, rocky crags, and historic chimneys which can be seen for miles. With sweeping views and rich history, it’s one of Bristol’s wild spaces.
The Mirrorbox will visit the Troopers Hill on 1st June between 11-4pm
Getting there

Follow the paths around the field to access the Hill.
