Meadow Drive Farm is a new broadleaved woodland of just over 9 hectares, close to the River Avon between Keynsham and Bitton.  The site, owned by a local farmer, was planted in 2002 / 2003 and has full public access.  

The site is an excellent spot for a quiet picnic and has good views of the Cotswold Hills.
