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.

_mercedes-amg-e-53-hybrid-4matic-estate-driving-video.webp "With the new Mercedes-AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ as a saloon and estate, the performance and sports car brand from Affalterbach is presenting two further plug-in hybrid models. They combine outstanding performance and driving dynamics with a long electric range.<br/>The combination of the 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engine and the permanently excited E-synchronous machine generates a maximum system output of 430 kW (585 HP) and a maximum system torque of 750 Nm. The performance is correspondingly dynamic: acceleration from 0‑100 km/h takes place in 3.8 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 280 km/h (saloon with optional AMG Driver's Package). Up to 140 km/h are possible purely electrically.<br/>The 120-kW electric motor is integrated into the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission to save space. The high-power density of the hybrid power unit is achieved by the permanently excited internal rotor synchronous technology. The electric motor's maximum torque of 480 Nm is available from the first revolution and ensures high agility even when starting off. The traction battery with 400 volts has a gross capacity of 28.6 kWh and is installed in the rear under the trunk floor. The energy content that can be used every day is smaller at 21.22 kWh, as part of the energy is always reserved for boosting and thus high-performance driving. Nevertheless, the high-voltage battery enables an electric range of up to over 100 kilometres.")
