And if you know of other great Bristol streets that deserve a mention, let us know.
5. Stapleton
It may only be a five-minute drive from IKEA but Stapleton still feels like the peaceful village it was. An important area for coal mining in the 18th-century, this tucked away road comprises two small terraces of cottages separated by a small green. | Google
6. Queen’s Parade, Hotwells
At the bottom of Brandon Hill but still unknown to many Bristolians, Queen’s Parade is a sweeping terrace of houses dating from the late 1700s. | Google
7. Maesknoll Road, Knowle
It’s a long way from Maes Knoll, the Iron Age hill fort in Dundry, but this quiet cul-de-sac near Redcatch Park in Knowle is just as pleasing on the eye with its 1930s houses | Google
8. Hazel Avenue, Redland
Even residents who have lived in leafy Redland for years probably don’t know Hazel Avenue. Just off Redland Road, this concealed cul-de-sac of a handful of bungalows is a hidden gem. | Google
