Council-owned flats in Long Cross, Lawrence Weston

Lawrence Weston is a post-war housing estate in northwest Bristol, England, between Henbury and Shirehampton. The estate is bounded in the east by the Blaise Castle estate and woods. It is at the edge of the Severn flood plain, directly beneath the wooded Kingsweston Hill. The industrial complex and port of Avonmouth is a mile or so west, across the flood plain. Lawrence Weston forms part of the electoral ward of Avonmouth and Lawrence Weston.

Lawrence Weston was originally a hamlet, a tything of the parish of Henbury.[1] It was transformed in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when the estate was built, absorbing both the original hamlet and the neighbouring hamlet of Kings Weston. Originally council owned, much of the housing stock is now in private hands.

There are two youth centres, a BMX track, a young people's shop called Juicy Blitz and a Youth Inclusion project. It has a community farm and a range of clubs and groups for young people.

Kings Weston House and Kings Weston Roman Villa both lie near the western end of the estate.

Lawrence Weston Moor

Lawrence Weston Moor is an 11.9 hectare local nature reserve leased from Bristol City Council and managed by the Avon Wildlife Trust. The drier fields are hay meadows where plants such as meadowsweet and pepper-saxifrage are common. The wetter meadows have ragged robin, marsh marigold and creeping forget-me-not. The fields and old pollarded willows support birds such as reed buntings, snipe, reed and sedge warblers, little owls and kestrels. The rhynes (drainage ditches) are rich in water plants and provide homes for common frogs and many insects, such as dragonflies.[2][3][4]
