Brislington is an area in the south-east of the city of Bristol. It is on the edge of Bristol and 10 miles from Bath, United Kingdom.
It houses the HTV West Studios on Bath Road and this is situated next to the historic Arnos Vale Cemetery which is currently undergoing restoration after a lengthy public and newspaper campaign.
In the early 21st century, Brislington’s paint works was converted to studios, offices and houses, home to arts and media organisations.
Brislington is also near to the site of St. Anne's Wood (actually located in nearby St Annes which in the 15th century was a place of pilgrimage, visited by Henry VII of England).

Also the area is home to CLC@Brislington, one of Bristol's three City Learning Centres, which use information communication technology in teaching and learning.
Churches in Brislington include St Lukes, St Cuthberts, Carmel Christian Centre and the United Reform Church.
Brislington used to have a station on the Bristol and North Somerset Railway that linked the city with the towns of the Somerset coalfield. The line opened in 1873 and was closed to passenger traffic in 1959, with freight services withdrawn in the mid 1960s.
