Stoke Park, Stoke Gifford - South Gloucestershire (UA)
Mid-C18 park laid out around crenellated Dower House. The park is in a dramatic location on a hill overlooking the city of Bristol and is embellished by monuments and eye-catchers. Now bisected by the M32 motorway. Setting compromised by dense residential development. Park under pressure from heavy and occasionally anti-social use, particularly affecting park structures. In 2012, the majority of the site was transferred to Bristol City Council who received Historic England grant towards a Conservation Management Plan in 2015-16 which is now being implemented under Natural England Stewardship.
