Welcome to Windmill Hill

Windmill Hill is a historic neighborhood located in the south of Bristol, England. The area is named after the windmill that once stood on the hill, which was used to grind corn and wheat.

The area is known for its stunning views of the city and the surrounding countryside, making it a great place to take a walk or have a picnic.

One of the most notable features of Windmill Hill is its vibrant community. The area is home to a diverse mix of people, including families, young professionals, and retirees. There are plenty of local shops, cafes, and restaurants to explore, as well as a number of community events and festivals throughout the year. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to relax or a lively neighborhood to explore, Windmill Hill has something for everyone.

Another unique aspect of Windmill Hill is its rich history. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and there are a number of historic buildings and landmarks to explore. One of the most notable is the Victoria Park Baptist Church, which was built in the late 19th century and is still in use today. Other historic sites in the area include the Windmill Hill City Farm, which is a working farm that offers educational programs and events for visitors of all ages.
