Leigh Woods playground design

Leigh Woods is a wilderness of tranquility set against Brunel’s famous suspension bridge in Bristol. The National Trust engaged with TouchWood, playground construction experts, to request a trial design that would strongly reflects Leigh Woods’ ‘Spirit of Place’ and which had an informal educational element.

The woodland is a National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It is the largest block of woodland in the Bristol area and is the home to over 500 veteran and ancient trees. The aim of the project was to provide a more organic play trail which would attract visitors with a wider age-range and encouraging exploration further into the woods.
