Photography courses at Ashton Court mean that we can teach just 2 miles from the centre of Bristol, while being almost entirely surrounded by Somerset countryside.

Now owned by Bristol Council, the estate is a major recreational area. The current estate is about 850 acres of woodland and meadows. We are based in the Ashton Court visitor centre in the manor’s old stables.

There is a cafe in the grounds, which have both formal rose gardens as well as parkland, a recently-discovered iron-age hill fort and giant redwood trees.
