Interesting and informative, this history trail takes around 90 minutes.  You'll see ancient camps, stunning Georgian houses and you may even find a diamond!  Be sure not to miss the Observatory to visit the Giant's Cave for an unique view of the valley below and to marvel at the Camera Obscura (still working and best seen on a sunny day).

On a misty morning on Durdham Down Kerris Harrop presents a cheque for £7500 to the Lord Mayor of Bristol who accepts it on behalf of the Downs Committee.  This amazing sum was raised from donations to a successful Just Giving campaign and the sale of over 700 copies of Ladies' Mile.

What Our READERS Are Saying
​

"​We knew there were secrets surrounding Ladies’ Mile although no-one ever spoke of them.  Once Victoria Hughes’ book came out, we found out what those secrets were.  This is an immensely readable book of shameless stories in different times."
"A funny and at the same time a very sad book.  I absolutely loved every page."
"I received my copy of the book and read it in one sitting.  It is an interesting tale of times gone by (if a little shocking to some folk).  Victoria’s character shines through her words.  She must have been lovely to know.  I will refuse to lend my copy to friends: they will have to buy their own and add to the restoration fund!"
