'''Monks Park''' is a northern suburb of the city of [[Bristol]], [[England]] and is the highest point within the city. Monks Park stretches westward, towards [[Southmead]], from the [[A38 road|A38]] trunk road. [[Filton#Filton Park|Filton Park]] lies directly north, on the [[South Gloucestershire]] side of the city boundary. [[Horfield]] lies to the east of the A38 and also to the south.
Monks Park takes its name from [[James Henry Monk]], a nineteenth-century bishop of Gloucester and Bristol. The first development in Monks Park took place in the 1930s. Housing is mainly privately owned and semi-detached. [[Southmead Hospital]], Bristol's largest hospital, occupies the south west corner of the suburb. There are two primary schools (Upper Horfield and St Teresa's [[Roman Catholic|RC]]) and [[Monks Park Secondary School]].
