Leigh Court
Discover the timeless elegance of Leigh Court, a Grade II*–listed Palladian mansion set within 25 acres of tranquil parkland on the edge of Leigh Woods, just a stone’s throw from Clifton Village and Bristol’s Suspension Bridge.
Steeped in character, its interiors showcase Greek Revival style and 19th-century décor, centered around the breathtaking Great Hall - with its floating double staircase, restored pipe organ, and glass ceiling - that makes every entrance unforgettable.
But Leigh Court is more than a beautiful backdrop. It’s a hub for connection and purpose. Home to Business West (a certified B-Corp), the estate supports local business growth while striving for greater environmental stewardship - it is already carbon neutral and aims to be net zero by 2030.
