About this outing
Oldbury Court Estate in Fishponds has free admission, parkland, riverside woodland, picnic spots and a children’s play park for ages 13 and under. A kiosk and terrace are beside the playground, with accessible toilets and baby changing. The estate is open at all times, but car parks and toilets open 08:00 weekdays or 08:30 weekends and close at dusk; check the signs and do not assume overnight vehicle access. Both close on 25 December. Parking is charged 09:00–18:00 every day including bank holidays: £1 up to one hour, £2 up to two hours or £3 up to five hours. Extra hours can be purchased. The second car park is at Snuff Mills in Stapleton, not the Fishponds entrance.
