Monks Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monks Park is a northern suburb of Bristol, England and features the highest point within the city boundary. Monks Park stretches westward, towards Southmead, from the A38 trunk road. Filton Park lies directly north, on the South Gloucestershire side of the city boundary. Horfield lies to the east of the A38 and also to the south. The housing in Monks Park is mainly privately owned and semi-detached. Southmead Hospital, Bristol's largest, occupys the southwest corner of Monks Park. There is also a large secondary school in the northwest corner of the suburb, which has recently been changed from a comprehensive to a Specialist School with a focus on Communication. The focus on Communication concentrating on a joint specialism in English and Modern Foreign Languages was a first in England.
