Tyntesfield, just a stone’s throw away from Bristol, was not built as a bold and extravagant statement of wealth, power or politics. Its purpose was simple; to serve as a family home.

 

Once hidden and inaccessible, the ordinary and extraordinary lives and possessions of four generations of the Gibbs family are ready for discovery.

 

The garden and estate balance faded beauty and function with an abundance of nature; celebrated in ornate Gothic carvings that decorate the house. Flower filled terraces, an empty lake, woodland, champion trees and productive kitchen garden give further opportunities for exploration.

The Queen's Square is host to a regular classic car meet in beautiful surroundings. 

The meet takes place on the second Sunday of each month with the Avenue Drivers Club

 The Square is a 2.4 hectares garden square in the centre of Bristol, England. It was originally a fashionable residential address, but now most of the buildings are in office use.

 

 

The site on which the Square was built lay outside Bristol's city walls and was known as the Town Marsh. The Square was planned in 1699 and building finished in 1727. It was named in honour of Queen Anne. The north side and much of the west were destroyed in the Bristol Riots of 1831 and rebuilt.

 

Many of the buildings now have listed building status.
