Portishead Lake Grounds

These lake grounds are a popular place for adults and children alike and are perfect for lots of fresh air activities that cost little or nothing. Located right on the River Severn estuary, there is a constant succession of enormous ships to watch coming in and out of the busy industrial docks at Avonmouth, and also a small pebbled beach for children to play on. During the summer months, the boating lake hires out rowing boats and on certain days, model boat enthusiasts gather with their radio controlled boats to sail them across the lake. Nearby are tennis courts and there are woodland walks on the headland which has some excellent views. Portishead Lake Grounds is open seven days a week.
