Boiling Wells Brook
This brook runs through the valley of Ashley Vale. At one time the water was piped from here to the city centre in Quay Pipe to a water fountain on the quayside at the Stone Bridge, formerly called St Giles' Bridge, which was the highest point of the Frome navigable by the Severn trows and was known as Quay Head. It was called boiling because of its bubbling nature and not because of its temperature. In the background is the Boiling Wells site of St Werburghs City Farm. This is under construction and will provide an open air amphitheatre.

City Farm Boiling Wells Project
Boiling Wells is a 2.5 acre site nestled in a tranquil woodland valley just three minutes walk from the main Farm site. With wild green spaces, a terraced orchard interspersed with rambling soft fruit, native trees and a nearby stream, it is a unique oasis in the heart of the city. A range of outdoor activities are run throughout the week that are not easily accessed elsewhere within the city, often supporting vulnerable children and adults. It can also be hired for green weddings.

Across the railway line, Ashley Vale
From footpath BCC 209/10, with houses on Stottbury Road, and the modern Fairfield High School behind to the right. Mostly hidden in the foreground is Watercress Farm; "the pure waters of the Boiling Wells grew fine watercress as a commercial crop" https://adriankerton.wordpress.com/bristols-boiling-wells-and-quay-pipe/ .
