Blaise Hamlet — Attraction in Bristol

Blaise Hamlet was built for the retired employees of the Harford Family at Blaise Castle House in about 1811. It was designed by John Nash, an architect who also designed the dairy at Blaise and the Royal Pavillion in Brighton. There are nine cottages there, owned by the National Trust since 1943. All the cottages, and the sundial on the green are Grade I listed buildings. Along with Blaise Castle the Hamlet is listed, Grade II. The chimneys are great, everyone of them is different, with a lot of work put into them,( just to let smoke out). They are still occupied and not open to the public, but the ensemble may be viewed from the green. Rose Cottage is let by the National Trust as a holiday cottage.

Blaise Hamlet was fun to see. They are very quaint cottages around a beutiful green. They were built for pensioners of the estate and what a lovely cottage to retire too.

Beautiful little spot owned by the National trust with restored cottages that are currently lived in with a great little area

You are free to walk around but please do bear in mind that these houses are where people do live and you can walk round - no picnics allowed

A little haven away from a busy area and road in Bristol.

It is best to park at Blaise Castle estate...
