Four new goats introduced to Avon Gorge
By Amanda Cameron, Monday Apr 26, 2021
Four new billy goats have been introduced to Avon Gorge to help control unwanted scrub.
The new animals bring the number in “goat gully” back up to six after four of the original herd died several years ago.
Six wild Kashmiri goats were introduced into the enclosure on a steep section of the gorge by Seawalls in 2011.
Independent journalism is needed now more than ever.
Their job was to control scrub growth so that rare wildflowers and grasses, such as the Bristol onion and Bristol rock cress, can grow freely on the limestone ridge.

Many of us can t wait for pubs to reopen on Monday, but there are also lots of us who don t like having to pre-book places before we visit.
Whether it s because you don t like having to fill out forms or because you re someone whose plans change as frequently as Bristol s tiers changed in December, sometimes it s nice to be able to rock up without having to make a reservation.
