Retirement Properties Spotlight in Yate

Yate is an old settlement mentioned in Domesday as Giete and until the 20th century was a small village about the same size as Acton two miles to the west. It lies about ten miles northeast of Bristol and today is a small town having expanded considerably in the 1960s.

Bristol is a famous Cathedral city and a thriving industrial and commercial centre and although the docks have moved to Avonmouth and Royal Portbury smaller vessels recall the City's maritime past. With a wealth of fine architecture and with excellent leisure and cultural amenities the city remains a magnate for all generations.
