Clifton is Bristol at its most refined — sweeping Georgian and Regency crescents, the world-famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, independent boutiques along Clifton Village, and the green expanse of the Downs on its doorstep.
Housing spans grand terraces and crescents, mansion-flat conversions and smart townhouses. It's a magnet for professionals, academics (the University is close) and families drawn to its village feel and superb schools.
Why live in Clifton?
