Burwalls is a historic 19th century Grade II Listed Mansion on the edge of the Avon Gorge next to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The Burwalls site comprises a main house and gardens which include the site of an Iron Age hill fort (Burgh Walls Camp). The Main House was originally built as a private house in 1872, shortly after the completion and opening of Brunel's famous Clifton Suspension Bridge in 1864, by Joseph Leech a local entrepreneur and owner of the 'Bristol Times and Mirror'. Burwalls then became home, for many decades to the Wills Tobacco family during which time further extension work was carried out in the early 1900s. Burwalls was then requisitioned by The War Office in 1939 and used as the HQ of the Heavy Anti Aircraft Regiment before being purchased by The University of Bristol in 1948.
