Stoke Bishop is a suburb and ecclesiastical parish in the north-west of Bristol, England, of which Sneyd Park is a subdivision. Bordered by The Downs, the River Avon and the River Trym, it is located between the suburbs of Westbury-on-Trym and Sea Mills. Although relatively low, Stoke Bishop's population has significantly increased in recent years due to the infilling of former school and company playing fields. It also increases greatly in term time because of the influx of students to the large campus of Bristol University halls of residence situated on the edge of The Downs.
