About
Fishponds is a suburb in the north-east of the English city of Bristol, about 3 miles (5 km) from the city centre. It is mainly residential, and housing is typically terraced Victorian. It has a small student population from the presence of the Glenside campus of the University of the West of England. Fishponds is home to Oldbury Court, a Victorian landscaped park. The River Frome runs through the area with the Frome Valley Walkway alongside it. A restored mill found at Snuff Mills has kept its original waterwheel, which can still be seen and heard turning. To the south-west of the neighbourhood is Eastville Park. The name Fishponds derives from former quarries which upon abandonment became large fishponds.
