The Trym and its tributaries, although a modest river system, can be divided up into various sections. These sections have different features and often different groups looking after them.
-
The Mouth of the Trym and Sea Mills
This end of the Trym includes where it meets the River Avon next to Sea Mills railway station.
-
Coombe Dingle
This section of the Trym was where the first efforts to remove rubbish were made. The haul included a motorbike!
-
Blaise Castle Estate
The Blaise Castle Estate is primarily looked after by the Friends of Blaise but other local organisations have been helping restore the ponds in Blaise.
-
Henbury and Beyond to Cribbs Causeway
Hazel Brook goes off towards Cribbs Causeway through Henbury. A significant portion of the brook runs through the Crow Lane open space.
-
Westbury Village and Henbury Golf Club
In this section, the river Trym passes through Westbury Village, before skirting allotments and then crossing Henbury Golf Club.
-
Westbury Wildlife Park
This area is managed by the Westbury Wildlife Park Foundation whose goal is to continue to create a place of beauty and biodiversity.
-
Badock’s Wood
The section of the Trym that runs through Badock’s Wood is one of the most carefully maintained and well used.
-
Southmead Trym Valley
The river runs through the Trym Valley in Southmead to Filton Golf Course. The source of the Trym is actually in the golf course.
