Abbeymead is a residential ward on the north‑eastern edge of Gloucester in Gloucestershire, England. Largely built from the 1970s on former farmland, it comprises a mix of private and council housing focused around local parades such as Abbeymead Avenue, neighbourhood parks and primary schools; the name reflects historic ties to nearby Llanthony Secunda Abbey and the area's agricultural past.
Today it feels family‑oriented and community‑minded, with a community centre, sports clubs and active residents’ groups. Economically it is largely commuter‑based, with locals travelling into the city, to nearby industrial and retail areas or along the M5, while also enjoying relatively easy access to the countryside and the Cotswolds.
