Redland is a neighbourhood in Bristol, England. The neighbourhood is situated between Clifton, Cotham, Bishopston and Westbury Park. The boundaries of the district are not precisely defined, but are generally taken to be Whiteladies Road in the west, the Severn Beach railway line in the south and Cranbrook Road in the east.
Redland is also the name of a council ward, which covers a slightly different area. Redland ward extends to the southern part of Bishopston, and does not include the part of Redland south of Redland Road,[2] which is in Cotham ward.
Redland is primarily residential, and is known as a popular student accommodation area, particularly with second and third year students from the city's university.
Compared to Bristol averages, Redland ward has lower levels of deprivation, relative child poverty, premature mortality and crime. It has higher than average educational attainment, life expectancy, home ownership and car ownership.[1]
