About

Streets are generally quiet and characterised by established front gardens and tree-lined avenues. The area is served by several local convenience stores and pubs, with broader shopping needs met in the nearby high street.

The area is defined by its proximity to extensive green spaces. The northern border runs along the Frome Valley Walkway, a trail following the river.
