A short stroll along Cock Road Ridge. The walk , which may be muddy
after rain in places, involves gentle slopes and some steps which
make it unsuitable for pushchairs.

N51 27.078 W002 30.086 or N51 27.222 W002 29.548
From these points take the footpaths to Cock Road Ridge,an area of
public access land which has now become a nature haven.

space and undergrowth for them to explore. Dog owners please ensure
every effort is made to clean up after your pets.
COCKROAD was a village ith 18th century. Today it is remembered as
modern Cock Road.A chapel now stands on the site of a look-out
point where the fearsome Cockroad Gang kept watch, a spot no
outsider ever dared approach. Virtually everyone in the village
belonged to the gang, which terrorised the entire Bristol area for
decades. They stole livestock, robbed travellers, demanded money
with menaces, collected protection money at the annual Lansdown
fair and passed counterfeit coins. They were so violent, so
unstoppable, their very names invoked terror. In Brain's History of
Kingswood Forest, Dated 1891. it is recored that perhaps no other
village in England surpassed Cockroad for its notoriety in robbery.
So full of lawless persons,highway men and burglars was it, that
constantly many places near were plundered at the same time.
The cache, Which is a camaflaged container, is hidden out of view
