buildings combine to create an attractive campus, set in a city
that was founded as a Roman fort 2000 years ago and is now
becoming a must-see European destination.
The campus itself is just a short walk away from the vibrant
city centre with its mix of cafes, shops and ancient walls,
rows, amphitheatre, historic architecture and archaeological
features.

Badminton School
Bristol
Badminton School - Residence
Bristol is one of Britain’s favourite cities. It has a proud maritime
history and it is from here that many of England’s great explorers
set off to travel the world. Now a thriving cultural centre and the
country’s 11th biggest city, in 2017 Bristol topped the Sunday Times
rankings of best places to live in Britain and was listed 4th in the
Rough Guides’ top ten cities to visit worldwide.
Badminton School itself is set in stunning walled grounds in
Westbury-on-Trym on the outskirts of Bristol. It is a beautiful
mixture of old and new buildings surrounded by glorious gardens.
The accommodation has bright and airy bedrooms and comfortable
common rooms - many of them with fantastic views over Bristol.
