Abbots Leigh
Abbots Leigh is a civil parish in Somerset. It is around 3 miles west of the middle of Bristol.
Originally, the Middle English name of the village was Lega, and it didn't become Abbots Leigh until the mid-12th century. It has a small population of 799.
The village has an interesting history. The manor house, which is named after the village, housed Charles II when he escaped to France in 1651. He resided with friends of the King's travelling companion and they weren't aware of the King's identity during his stay. There is a footpath entitled Monarch's Way that marks the King's escape route through Abbots Leigh.
Abbots Leigh has a Gothic church of the Holy Trinity, founded in the 15th century. It was repaired and partially reconstructed between 1847-48 after a fire. The tower has six bells, and three of them were cast by William Bilbie in 1781. It is a Grade II listed building under English Heritage.
Leigh Woods encloses Abbots Leigh and is managed by the National Trust. There are many walk maps published online for guests to take part in.
