Description:
Located a mile from Clifton Suspension Bridge, in Abbot's Leigh, the tranquil Abbots Pool and Woodland is a hidden gem on the edge of Bristol, in North Somerset.<br/><br/>At the heart of the woodland are a series of ponds which date back to the Middle Ages when they were used by the abbots and monks from St Augustine Abbey in Bristol to provide fresh fish whilst they were staying in their rest-house nearby.<br/><br/>In the 1920s, the woodland and pools came to the possession of tobacco magnate Walter Melville Wills who had the area landscaped by James Pulman & Sons.<br/><br/>A small stone bridge as well as much of the stonework around the dam and cascade was constructed out of Pulhamite - a combination of concrete and local stone which is also used in the gardens of royal residences such as Sandringham and Buckingham Palace.<br/><br/>After the death of Walter Melville Wills in the 1940s,the pools and the majority of the woodland surrounding the Pool were passed onto the North Somerset Council (NSC). They manage the area alongside Abbots Pool Volunteers and the Abbots Leigh Wildlife Group.<br/><br/>The site received the Local Nature Reserve (LNR) status from Natural England in 2012.<br/><br/>The area is home to an abundance of wildlife including deer, bats and birds.

_millions-of-people-struggling-to-get-a-gp-appointment.webp "NHS data reveals that one out of every twenty patients in Britain must endure a wait of at least four weeks before securing an appointment with a GP. In November 2023, 1.5 million appointments in England's GP surgeries occurred four weeks or more after scheduling, constituting 4.8% of the 31.9 million appointments held that month. Shockingly, in one out of every six appointments—5.4 million in total, or 17.3%—patients faced a wait of at least two weeks after booking to consult with a GP, practice nurse, or another healthcare professional. <br/><br/>The strain on GPs intensifies as demand surges while the number of full-time, fully qualified doctors dwindles. Factors contributing to this demand include an ageing population with more chronic ailments and patients from hospital waiting lists seeking relief from pain or mental health issues. With declining GP numbers and the looming threat of surgery closures, NHS and medical leaders foresee exacerbating issues. As of October, England's NHS boasted 27,368 full-time, fully qualified GPs—761 fewer than in December 2019, despite a Tory manifesto pledge to add 6,000 GPs by 2024. Moreover, an increasing number of GPs opt for part-time work, citing the unmanageable nature of the job full-time. According to a Nuffield Trust report, the NHS must train two GPs to replace one full-time family doctor. <br/><br/>A Royal College of GPs survey found that 37% of respondents were unlikely to remain in general practice within five years, while 5% anticipated their practice closing or relinquishing its contract within the next year.")
