Ashton Court Estate
Skate Spot
Ashton Court Estate, located just outside Bristol’s city center, is a popular destination for longboarders looking to learn or refine their sliding skills. The estate features a mix of wide, paved paths and gentle downhill sections that provide a safe and spacious environment to practice without the pressure of traffic or crowds. The gradual gradients are perfect for building confidence and control, allowing riders to focus on technique rather than speed. The terrain varies just enough to offer both consistency and progression opportunities. Beginners can start on flatter stretches to get comfortable with speed checks and stand-up slides, while more experienced skaters can move onto steeper sections to try hands-down slides and more advanced maneuvers. The natural surroundings and scenic views add to the experience, making sessions at Ashton Court both productive and enjoyable. It's a go-to spot for those wanting a low-stress environment to level up their sliding game.
