Local Journeys
Walking with Cameras
Take a look at two audio slideshows of walks that reveal the wonderful hidden landscapes of the Avon Valley. Photographed by two groups of people, one features Troopers Hill and the other Avon Valley Woodlands, close to Hanham.
The events were organised by South Gloucestershire Council and facilitated by Peter Milner from Local Journeys which organises projects that celebrate local places and explore local landscapes. Visit these and other audio slideshows: www.localjourneys.org.uk
