Timeline
16:17
Grab a cider at The Apple. The floating pub is open late, so you can settle in with a West Country cider and watch the city lights flicker on before heading west.
17:17
Walk to Ashton Court Estate. The manor house grounds offer open meadow and woodland paths. Arrive an hour early to find a clear spot facing southwest.
18:17
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light from 17:31 will wash over the estate, highlighting the deer park and the historic manor before the sun dips below the horizon at 18:17.
18:47
End the evening with a warm falafel wrap at Falafel King. It is a quick stop to refuel after the walk, staying open until 19:00.
