Leigh Woods is a 2 square kilometres (490 acres) area of woodland on the south-west side of the Avon Gorge, opposite the English city of Bristol and north of the Ashton Court estate. Small mountain biking circuits are present in the woods and the area is a popular walking area for Bristolians. Part of the woodland was donated to the National Trust in 1909 by George Alfred Wills, to prevent development of the city beside the gorge.

  • Leigh Woods is a 2 square kilometres (490 acres) area of woodland on the south-west side of the Avon Gorge, opposite the English city of Bristol and north of the Ashton Court estate. Small mountain biking circuits are present in the woods and the area is a popular walking area for Bristolians. Part of the woodland was donated to the National Trust in 1909 by George Alfred Wills, to prevent development of the city beside the gorge. Areas not owned by the National Trust have since been taken over by the Forestry Commission. To the south of the woods is an exclusive suburb of Bristol of the same name. It is situated at the western end of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, which opened in 1864, making the development of Leigh Woods as an upmarket residential area practicable. Houses in varying styles were built from the mid-1860s until the First World War. Styles adopted included Italian, neo-Jacobean, Scottish baronial, Swiss chalet, Domestic Revival and Arts and Crafts. At the western end of the bridge is Burwalls House, a Victorian mansion owned by the University of Bristol and currently used as a centre for continuing education. On a bluff overlooking the bridge is Alpenfels, a mock Swiss chalet constructed for the Wills tobacco family.
  • Leigh Woods – las po południowo-zachodniej stronie Wąwozu Avon w Anglii, w jednostce administracyjnej North Somerset przy granicy z miastem Bristol, z drugiej strony Clifton Suspension Bridge. Na południu od lasu znajduje się przedmieście Bristolu o takiej samej nazwie. Miejsce znajduje się pod opieką administracji lasów państwowych. Na terenie lasu znajduje się grodzisko Stokeleihg Camp, zajmowane od roku 3 p.n.e. do 1 n.e.. Miejsce jest rezerwatem przyrody i ośrodkiem zainteresowania naukowego. Porośnięte jest dębem i lipą wąskolistną. Występuje tu też rzadki w Anglii jarząb brekinia.
