Redland Green

The name comes from the Latin Rubea Terra and in Norman, la Rede Londe,[3] describing the red soil of the area.

The palace of the Bishop of Bristol once stood there, but was destroyed by bombing in World War II.

It is a Grade I listed building,[5] and was previously the chapel of local manor house, Redland Court, which is why it is not dedicated to any particular saint.

[6] The park consists of a grassed area and a larger area of scrub and woodland managed by Bristol City Council, in partnership with local community groups, to encourage biodiversity.

The park is open all year round and includes a picnic area with picnic benches and a playground with equipment, including a climbing frame, swings, a roundabout, a sandpit and a zip wire.
