This is a great street in Bristol, quiet safe and with easy walking distance of the Gloucester road.

The Road has been having summer street parties for over 100 years now and every year they seem to get better and better. The road is a great place for families of all ages, it is close to the several park, St Andrews, The Downs, Redland green, Horfield Common, and the little park off Bishop Road!

If you like gardening this is a great place, as well as good sized gardens (for a city home) the areas is covered with allotments, although you would not know it from walking around, just have a look on Google earth.

The restaurants and pubs on Gloucester rroad are great, and if coffee shops are what you are after - then look not further! The Gloucester road also offers good local shopping, local butcher, green grocers and hard ware shops.

the local schools are consider to be some of the best in Bristol, both primary and secondary. There is also child care available locally, in many different nurseries. There is a local doctor surgery only 5mins walk away. Buses go regularly from the Gloucester road ( every 3 mins of so).

The street has cable tv in it so high speed broadband, and TV and all availabe. Also all the mobile networks I have tried seem to have have great coverage!

All in all it as a great place to live!

Great review, the buses probably only go every 5mins, but I'll let you off for that!

Any particular reason for 5/5 for the local council? (If they're not over or under achieving, you could recommend 3 stars)
