About
Frenchay is a village in South Gloucestershire, England. It is part of the Bristol Built-up Area, located 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Bristol city centre. Frenchay was designated as a conservation area in 1975 in recognition of its unique architectural and historic character and appearance. The village is situated between the B4058 road, which runs parallel to the M32 motorway in the west, and the wooded River Frome valley to the south and east. To the north, the built-up area ends at the A4174 Avon ring road, beyond which is the Avon Green Belt. Frenchay village has much green space, including the common, walks along the River Frome, and a moor owned by The National Trust. The Village Hall is a village hub, and there is an annual village flower show. Frenchay Park, an adjacent suburb, is situated within Bristol city limits. Frenchay gives its name to the Frenchay Campus of the University of the West of England, though the campus itself is situated in the neighbouring parish of Stoke Gifford.
