These short, circular walks are companions to the main ‘Walk with the Bristol Suffragettes’ in The Bristol Suffragettes. If you are feeling energetic you can do them as detours from the main walk, or you can do them as short, separate walks. (PDF Documents.)

“By the end of the walk I had learned a huge amount about the suffrage movement as a whole as well as the Bristol suffragettes.” A Guided Walk with the Bristol Suffragettes – Walk participant, July 2013.

Suffrage Walks

A Suffrage Walk Around Clifton Village

Bishops, writers, and Bristol’s first women’s suffrage society…following the installation of a Blue Plaque for the Bristol and West of England Society for Women’s Suffrage at 3 West Mall in December 2018, I have corrected and updated A Suffrage Walk Around Clifton Village (originally published in 2014).

A Walk With the Clifton Suffragists

Suffrage pilgrims, university lecturers and census resisters…this short walk around Clifton Village introduces some of Bristol’s non-militant campaigners.

A Suffrage Walk Around Whiteladies Road

Census resisters and church protesters, some remarkable Bristol sisters, and a medical pioneer…find out more about Bristol’s suffragette years. This is quite a long one and some of it is uphill, so you may want to do it as a stand-alone walk. Allow around 40 minutes.

A Suffrage Walk Around the Centre

Learn about the Women’s Mission, suffragettes and music hall, window breaking and violence on Bristol Docks in A Suffrage Walk Around the Centre. Allow 20-25 minutes.
