Ashton (Gate) neighbourhood is next to Southville. Once part of the estate of Ashton Court, in the nineteenth century the area had ironworks and collieries. Nowadays, it has Ashton Gate Stadium, home to Bristol City FC.
It benefits from its proximity to North Street, the Tobacco Factory and everything else that Southville has to offer.
However, it differs from Southville in property type – the majority of homes are 1930/50s terraces and semis, with a few detached family houses.
The city centre is walkable. Buses will take you via Temple Meads or you can jump on a train at Bedminster station. Alternatively, you can cycle to all corners of the city using nearby cycle paths. There's also good access to the motorway via The Portway (A4) or A369.
