About

Stoke Bishop is a residential ward located in the northwest of Bristol, bordering the suburb of Westbury-on-Trym and the open spaces of the Downs and the Avon Gorge. The area is characterised by large detached houses and substantial gardens, with a mix of family homes and student accommodation linked to the nearby University of Bristol. Its streets are generally quiet and tree-lined, creating a settled atmosphere away from the city centre.
