Snuff Mills is a beautiful area of greenspace in Bristol.

There is an active group of local people working together to improve Snuff Mills, Wickham Glen and Oldbury Court for people and wildlife. We campaign to ensure that Grove Wood, opposite Snuff Mills, and Laundry Field, next to Blackberry Hill Hospital, are protected for local people to enjoy.

Please post your comments, views and ideas about the area on this blog. Comments are moderated before publication and will not appear straight away. Published comments are not necessarily endorsed by Snuff Mills Action Group.
