In 2023 we celebrated 50 years of High Kingsdown - a pedestrianised 20th century village situated in the heart of one of Bristol’s most historic, and architecturally diverse areas.  Walking from High Kingsdown, down St Michael’s Hill, you are passing through time, from the 21st Earth Sciences Building, past 20th century university and hospital buildings, the old 19th century children’s hospital, 18th century Georgian houses, 17th century almshouses, over cobbled surfaces until just before the Mount Without, you reach 16th century Bristol.  Walk on a little further to Christmas Steps and you will find yourself in the medieval world.
