About Oldbury Court and Snuff Mills

Oldbury Court is a beautiful estate, combining woodland and riverside paths with historic parkland and an excellent new children’s play area. Only 3 miles from Bristol city centre, the estate is a great place for a family day out, featuring big green spaces and picnic areas, and is popular with walkers for its varied landscape and panoramic views. Snuff Mills, named after the historic snuff-grinding mill that once stood on the site, is a picturesque park and a cornerstone of the Frome Valley Walkway neighbouring the Oldbury Court estate.
