Was a little bit hard to find, but so worth it! Beautiful houses that are currently occupied, we ran into a sweet old couple who showed us how to get in. They knew people who lived there and shared with us that no homes front door faces each other to give the upmost privacy within close quarters. Took some amazing pictures.
lovely place which takes you back to the 19th century.
It can easily be reached by bus.
I really loved it.
A set of designer cottages purposely built to look rural and cute. They are, but they are privately owned and although you can look at the outside, that's really it. Interesting to see, but not an afternoon out.
Blaise Hamlet is simply magical, the inspiration for Christmas cards, another example of the wonderful buildings and places Bristol constructed in the past. It is the place to take visitors, it never fails to impress and enchant my foreign friends. It's one of those places I wish I could keep it secret and avoid having it trampled by too many visitors... Please treat it with respect.
Surrounding a green are 9 beautful little cottages all different.They were built for pensioners and are all lived in.The Hamlet near Blaise Castle is owned by the National Trust.
I think via the National Trust’s Instagram I saw a picture of Blaise Hamlet and it caught attention due to it being so picturesque and it was easy to combine with my road tripping, it’s less than 20minutes from Tyntesfield.
I was not convinced I was in the right place as from all the pictures I had seen I thought it was a country hamlet but in fact is a real hidden gem among suburbia and right by a traffic bottleneck which makes it even harder to believe you are at the right spot. I’m not quite sure where people should park if they are with car but I just parked on the road and went in through the wrought iron gate.
It very much is a picture perfect enclave, almost like a film set but real. It sounds very twee but it is very sweet and surreal with the 9 quirky cottages (each unique) around the idyllic green with its stone sundial and water pump. It’s certainly a worthwhile pocket to go and visit but in combination with something else or if you are walking though town etc.
