Route

To make sure everyone's included, there are two routes to choose from on the day of Memory Walk.

A shorter 1.5km route, which is wheelchair accessible and suitable for all ages and abilities.

The longer 5km route takes you around Bristol’s historic harbourside, enjoying views of the S.S. Great Britain and Cumberland Basin before returning across Pero’s Bridge, and is more challenging and not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs due to the nature of the pathways, and some uneven terrain throughout the route.

Please note the route and distance is subject to change, and suitable footwear is recommended.

Travel Information

Please consider the most sustainable method of transport, such as public transport or car share, where possible.

By car

Please note, there is no dedicated event parking, so please use city centre parking or consider using public transport, where possible.

For drop-offs only, head towards Canons Way.
