Abbeymead is a modern, affluent and popular suburb of the city of Gloucester in the county of Gloucestershire, England. It lies approximately 3 miles south-east of the city centre, and is bounded by the suburbs of Abbeydale to the west and south west, Coney Hill to the north west, Barnwood and Hucclecote to the north and north east, and the M5 motorway to the east. The first houses to be built as part of the Abbeymead development were begun in the late 1980s with the construction of its main artery, Abbeymead Avenue.
