Welcome to Ashton Vale - This web site is a celebration our unique heritage.    

Ashton Vale is a small community on the edge of South Bristol. With charming  wide open spaces and land protected by Green Belt Policy, local people have valued these fields, woods and the beautiful Colliters Brook that surround Ashton Vale for generations. A walkers, joggers and children's paradise, mostly flat, you can amble along public footpaths, wander through open countryside, sit by the babbling brook and picnic with friends and families. Yet amazingly this unique area is just minutes from Bristol City Centre.

A quiet residential area in a treasured rural position, set just minutes from a major city it has managed to maintain a village like atmosphere.  There are many third and fourth generation families living here with uninterrupted views of Ashton Court, Long Ashton ancient village church and the village, the longest in Europe set against a landscape of the the famous Bristol Suspension Bridge.

Tragically this beautiful area is now fighting for survival and is now under serious threat from developers, who have noted its unique qualities and are planning development so vast on an unprecedented scale and all within the protected Green Belt.  This small community will be destroyed and the green space lost forever.

Please join our campaign to protect Ashton Vale Fields for future generations and to help us save green fields around all our cities.  Environmentalists, sociologists and scientists all agree that natural green space is a necessity for communities to thrive and survive.

Over the whole of the UK and especially in the South West of England, fields protected by Green Belt Policy since the 1950's has suddenly become the target of the government who are ready to let developers move in and develop houses and shopping centres.  Over 500,000 houses are planned for the South West with over 120, 000 in Bristol alone and 10,000 in South West Bristol.
