Blaise Hamlet is a small, charming cluster of nine cottages arranged around an open green, built in 1811 to house retired staff from the nearby Blaise Castle estate. Each cottage was individually designed by the architect John Nash, and the hamlet is regarded as one of the first examples of a planned community, with a stone sundial and water pump marking its construction. As the cottages are still lived in, access is to the green only, reached by a gate with steps up from Hallen Road, where on-street parking is available; dogs on leads are welcome, and toilets and a café can be found at the nearby Blaise Castle Estate. It suits a quiet, reflective visit and sits within easy reach of Bristol, with 56 bookable places to stay within five miles on BritStays.
