About

Clifton Down is situated on the western side of Bristol, centred around a large expanse of open parkland. This area is dominated by the open, grassy plateau of the Downs themselves, which provide sweeping views across the Avon Gorge. The residential streets surrounding the green space are characterised by substantial Victorian and Georgian villas and terraces. The local economy is supported by a mix of independent shops, cafes, and services concentrated along Whiteladies Road and Clifton Village.

The ward's geography is defined by its proximity to the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Avon Gorge, which are traversed by the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge. The Downs serve as a significant recreational area for walking and sports, while also hosting events like the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. The area is home to the University of Bristol's main precinct and the Bristol Zoo Gardens site, which is undergoing redevelopment.
