Windmill Hill is a hill, an inner suburban neighbourhood, and an electoral ward in Bristol, England. It is located south of the River Avon, southeast of Bedminster, north of Knowle and west of Totterdown. Victoria Park occupies the eastern half of the hill.
Windmill Hill is a predominantly residential location, and became popular in the 1990s and 2000s with students, artists and environmentalists, often sharing rented accommodation. The area has mainly Victorian terraced houses though there are also two residential tower blocks Polden and Holroyd House. In the early years of the 21st century the area started undergoing gentrification which has increased house prices in the area. Windmill Hill remains a creative and community driven neighbourhood. Windmill Hill's Community Centre was opened in the 1970s in the former church hall of St Michael and All Angels church.[1]
Windmill Hill is separated from the rest of Bedminster by the Bristol to Exeter line railway (including Bedminster railway station) and industrial estates, as well as the Windmill Hill City Farm. The River Malago runs through the western edge of Windmill Hill ward.
