Clifton Bristol Map

About Clifton

Clifton's elegant Georgian terraces, their pale stone catching the afternoon sun, speak of a distinguished past. It lies 1.4 km north-west of Bristol (from Bristol: bearing 312°T, OS grid ST 572 738). The broad sweep of the Downs, a breathing space of chalk grassland, unfurls towards the Avon Gorge, its layered rock a testament to ancient forces. Here, the air, often carrying the distant hum of the city, still holds a peculiar clarity, a gift from the open skies. The iconic suspension bridge, a marvel of Victorian engineering, arches over the river's deep embrace, a constant, stoic sentinel. Clifton Village itself, with its independent shops and the quiet dignity of its parish church, offers a refined repose.
