About this map.
Owned by Hanson Aggregates, Ridge Wood is long strip of woodland running along the Yate/Chipping Sodbury boundary near the old Barnwood quarry, and is managed by South Gloucestershire Council and the Friends of Ridge Wood group.
Access to the wood is from the easternmost corner of Greenways Road, Jubilee Gardens off Melrose Avenue, and Quarry Road.
At each entrance an information board tells of the wood's history and wildlife.
Within the wood there is a solid path that follows the western edge and links the three entrances, plus there are several other (muddier) permissive footpaths to explore.
The southern edge of the wood meets the Frome Valley Walkway for further walks east and west.
No bikes are permitted in the wood; see the Ridge Wood website for further information and advice.
