Upper Horfield

Upper Horfield sits in the north of Bristol, part of the wider Horfield district a short bus ride from the city centre. The A38 (Gloucester Road) cuts through the area and provides a long high street of shops, cafes and services that serve local residents. Housing is varied: rows of late-Victorian terraced houses stand beside interwar semi‑detached streets and small post‑war estates, reflecting development phases across the 19th and 20th centuries.

Green space centres on Horfield Common, with marked sports pitches and walking routes used by local clubs and schools. The Memorial Stadium, home of Bristol Rovers, is a noted local ground and dates from the interwar period. Public transport runs frequently along main roads and there are cycle routes linking to neighbouring districts. Community facilities include parks, primary schools and local churches, and a selection of independent shops and specialist grocers along Gloucester Road make daily shopping accessible without leaving the area.
