Wordsworth Road, Horfield

"Fantastic light throughout the day. Dawn on the front, sunset on the back. We like to pop down Gloucester Road on a weekend morning, then head to the farm (St Werburghs) if we are staying local. Walks through Stoke Park to Cheswick village are great all year. Pizza Rova or Laura's Pizza are a family favourite."
