Almondsbury
Almondsbury is a beautiful, countryside village with the benefit of excellent transport links. The village is split by a steep hill, part of the escarpment overlooking the Severn floodplain. At the bottom of the hill is Lower Almondsbury where a pub and hotel, The Bowl Inn, is situated. South Wales, the Forest of Dean, the River Severn and both Severn Bridges are visible from the higher parts of the village. Just a few minutes from the M32, M4, M5 and just 6 miles from the city centre, you couldn’t be better placed to enjoy all that Bristol has to offer, without living in the city itself.
