Dist:0.4km<br/>The golf club at Shirehampton was founded in 1904 on land overlooking the River Avon that was then part of the Kingsweston Estate. Some time after the First World War the land was acquired by the National Trust and leased back to the club (the golf club website states this happened in 1918, but the information board here gives the date as 1922).
