Totterdown Bristol Map

About Totterdown

Totterdown rises with a quiet dignity, its red-brick terraces climbing the slopes above the Avon. It lies 2.0 km south-east of Bristol (from Bristol: bearing 135°T, OS grid ST 597 714). The very air here seems to hold the memory of industry, a legacy of the pottery and Bristol Blue Glass that once hummed with life, now replaced by the gentle murmur of suburban existence. Sunlight, when it breaks through the Bristolian clouds, falls in broad, warm swathes across the steeply pitched roofs, illuminating gardens that spill over with colour. The distinctive architecture, a testament to Victorian ambition, gives Totterdown a character all its own, a pleasingly robust charm that feels both enduring and alive. Its streets, often a puzzle of unexpected turns and ascents, offer glimpses of the distant Mendips, a constant reminder of the wider landscape that enfolds this distinctive corner of the South West.
