Castle Park, Bristol

Introduction

Castle Park is a municipal park on the site of both the 11th century Bristol Castle, demolished in 1656, and the site of the Saxon Settlement (dated to around 1000 AD) of Bristol. The park includes the ruins of St Peter's Church, which was blitzed in November 1940. The area was laid out as a public park after World War 2.
