About

Knowle is a residential district in south Bristol, characterised by its mixture of housing. The area is largely made up of interwar and post-war semi-detached homes, with some Victorian terraces and more recent developments. It functions as a practical suburb, with local shopping parades along Wells Road providing essential services for the community.

The area's geography is defined by its position on one of the city's many hills, offering views across Bristol. A notable local feature is the historic Knowle Quarry, a former limestone site now surrounded by housing, which speaks to the area's industrial past. The expansive Victoria Park provides significant green space with sports facilities and a children's playground.
