Stoke Gifford is a large village and suburb on the northern edge of the Bristol urban area in South Gloucestershire, England. It sits close to major road links - the M4 and M5 - and has good rail access via Bristol Parkway, making it a convenient commuter base for the city and the wider West of England.
Historically a rural manor with Norman roots and a medieval church at its heart, Stoke Gifford has grown since the mid-20th century into a mix of family housing, business parks and university-linked facilities - the University of the West of England’s Frenchay campus and aerospace and defence employers in nearby Filton all shape the local economy. Despite modern development it still benefits from green spaces and community groups, giving it a suburban-village feel with easy access to the cultural and job opportunities of Bristol.
