From spices and tobacco to sugar and slaves, Bristol was built on the trade that its docks and floating harbour enabled. Thankfully, the city’s economy is based more on service than servitude these days, but the waterways around which Bristol is built remain one of its greatest assets. Bristol Packet Boats also offer guided tours around the harbour and even out into the Avon Gorge.

Stretching from the top of Whiteladies Road all the way to the Suspension Bridge, the huge open green spaces known as The Downs are the lungs of the city. From dog walkers to doggers, this massive area has been helping Bristolians feel a million miles away from the hustle and hassle of town for generations. There’s more than enough room for sporty types and Sunday leaguers to kick a ball around without bothering each other, and the area known as the Sea Wall in the southwest corner of The Downs should be top of your list for taking visiting relatives to admire the jaw-dropping views of the Avon Gorge and Suspension Bridge.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge spans the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods. It is much more than just a masterpiece of design and engineering. Considered to be Brunel’s greatest work, it’s an internationally recognised icon of the city. No matter how many times you’ve climbed up to Clifton Village to take a look, the giant wrought iron structure never fails to inspire sheer vertiginous awe, whatever the weather or time of year. Incredible views on a truly iconic structure - a must see!
