Lunchtimes provide the opportunity for running, cycling, taking a walk, playing football/ rugby/rounders and there are at least two organised ‘work outs’ each week. There are good options for lunch out - country pubs, farm shop, garden centre and The Mall Cribbs Causeway is only a five-minute drive away. We have plenty of car parking spaces and a bike shed and showers are available for cyclists/runners.
