About

Bishopsworth ward lies in the southwestern part of Bristol, primarily a residential suburb with a mix of housing types, from interwar semis to modern estates. The area is bordered by the A37 Wells Road and the A38, providing key transport routes. It includes the neighbourhoods of Bishopsworth itself, Headley Park, and parts of Bedminster Down, featuring local shops, schools, and community facilities centred around the High Street.

The terrain is characterised by gentle slopes rising towards the open spaces of the Northern Slopes, a network of green fields and woodland offering views across the city. A notable local landmark is the striking, modern St. Peter's Church on Headley Park. The ward is largely self-contained, with its identity distinct from the more central areas of South Bristol, focusing on local commerce and community life.
