Advantages: Good range of activities, very attractive areas, lots of fun to be had Disadvantages: other areas are very dirty and run down
...the city and county of Bristol is the largest city in this area with its population at about half a million. It sits on the River Avon, which winds its way through the city and out into the Severn Estuary.
Getting to Bristol:
Bristol is easily accessed by road either on the M4 or M5 which intersect just outside Bristol at Almondsbury. It is then a short trip up the M32 (avoiding rush hour if you want to get there the same day!) which takes you ... ...heart of the city and Bristol Parkway, a few miles outside.
National Express coaches also run regularly to the bus station.
Firstly shopping, my favourite past time!
All in all, Bristol really has 3 main shopping areas and so I will cover each one.
Firstly, in the heart of Bristol is Broadmead. At the minute this area is undergoing a huge redevelopment to improve this area and so does look a bit like a building site in places, but despite this, ...

Advantages: Big enough to be good Disadvantages: Small enough to be friendly
...West's funkiest city. Bristol is the 7th biggest city in the UK and has around 400,000 people living in it. Due to the two universities in it, they being Bristol University and the University of the West of England (my own beloved uni!), the population can move around about, UWE has 24,000 students alone. That's not to say that Bristol is just a student city, there's definitely much more to it than that. I could concentrate on the bad things, like ... ...the positive stuff!! Bristol is accessible by every mode of transport, bus, coach, train and even the airport. That's not to say the city transport is any good, it was recently voted the worst in the country (I've written an op on this by the way!

Advantages: excellent city to explore Disadvantages: the traffic
Bristol is the lost gem of England - neglected city in some ways. Everyone knows of the delights of Bath, London and so on, but few people seem to know that Bristol has much to offer. The historic port, sadly being inextricably linked throughout history with the slave trade, is a bustling cosmopolitan city. Historically, the cathedral and the surrounding green is a delight to walk around on a pleasant day. The university buildings and museum are ... ...today.
For the whole family, Bristol Zoo ranks amongst some of the finest in Europe. Its breeding programmes for endangered species are first class. The zoo is situated in lovely grounds in Clifton, near the suspension bridge. At Clifton Down there are wide open spaces fr walking and picnicing. A Camera Obscura situated on the cliffs above the Avon is open top the public, and is one of only a few working camera obscuras in the country.

Bristol is a v. pleasant city which can get a bit blocked by traffic. St Marys Redcliffe is one of the most attractive churches in the United Kingdom. It lies a little way out of town but it is worth the effort of walking there.Many people visit the SS Great Britain in the renovated dock area. The boat houses an interesting exhibition of the ships life. It is worth a walk to Temple Meads station. The Victorian architecture is superb.It is a good ...
