Brandon Hill Park (Bristol)

United Kingdom / England / Bristol / Charlotte Street
 park, grassland, public garden

Brandon Hill was granded to the council in 1174 by the Earl of Gloucester, and was used for grazing until 1625 when it became a public open space, possibly the oldest municipal open space in the country. From 1840 onwards Brandon Hill was improved with walls and walks and became classical parkland. The park is steep and is divided into informal gardens, a small nature reserve and open grassland.
