Arnos Vale lies outside the city centre, towards Brislington via the Bath Road. The majority of properties are Victorian terraces, many of them family houses, with a few flat conversions. The area has a lively, urban atmosphere, despite being a little way out of the city, and a good mix of young professionals and families.
And we have to mention Arnos Vale Cemetery. A 45-acre haven of peace and quiet containing many listed buildings and monuments, it’s beloved by tourists and Bristolians alike.
Opposite the cemetery you'll find Paintworks Creative Quarter, a mix of live work spaces and interesting companies. Bocabar is also based here, an award-winning independent venue, serving delicious coffee, food and drink at any time of day, and very popular with the locals.
The local Bath Road Studios offer office space and attract a number of creative professionals to the area.
