Just 6 miles north of the Bristol CBD, but found Blaise Hamlet difficult to find on a quiet Sunday. We could not not find any signage to this National Trust location, though I'm sure it must have been there. I had a voice in a TomTom telling me where to go, but the GPS is not alway right, as occurred on this occasion. Yes it was visually very English and we would had enjoyed more time to wander, but did not want to intrude on looking too hard, as residents live in the homes. Visually impressive.
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.
