BS29 POSTCODE REGION

Bristol (BS29)

The BS29 postcode area is located in the Bristol postcode town region, within the county of Somerset, and contains a total of 127 individual postcodes.

There are 8 electoral wards in the BS29 postcode area, including Axbridge, Banwell, Bristol, Cheddar, Clevedon, Wedmore, Weston-Super-Mare, Winscombe which come under the local authority of the North Somerset Council.

Combining the whole postcode region, 25% of people in BS29 are classed as having an AB social grade, (i.e. 'white-collar' middle-upper class), compared to 27% across the UK.

This does not mean that the people of BS29 are poorer than other areas, but it may give an indication that there are areas of deprivation.


The BS29 postcode is located in the Bristol district in the UK. It covers several small towns and villages, including Hartcliffe, Bishopsworth, Hengrove, Headley Park, Ashton Gate, and Withywood.

The area has become increasingly popular because of its proximity to Bristol's city centre, the local amenities, and the wide range of leisure activities available to residents. It is also convenient to access all parts of the city, with excellent transport links to Bristol's main airports, as well as national rail and bus stations.

Hartcliffe is the largest town in the BS29 postcode, and is a largely residential area. It is served by a large supermarket, several smaller local shops, and a range of eateries. The neighbouring town of Bishopsworth has some traditional shops, a sports centre, and is home to an award-winning local pub.

The lively suburb of Hengrove is close to cinemas, bars, cafes, and family friendly parks and gardens. Headley Park has plenty of pubs and restaurants, and Ashton Gate is known for its vibrant culture, and its large student population. Withywood is a more rural area, home to some of the region's best walking and cycling routes.

BS29 is also home to some of Bristol's best schools, colleges, and universities, including Bristol City College, the City of Bristol College, and the University of the West of England (UWE). There is also a range of state and independent schools in the area, as well as a healthcare centre.

Although this postcode area is known for its great amenities, it has had its fair share of social and economic challenges. Much of the housing is made up of low-cost social housing, and the unemployment rate is slightly higher than the national average. However, with continued investment in housing and infrastructure, the area is likely to be further developed in the future.
