Bristol is an ideal place if you enjoy the buzz of the city but your heart really belongs to the countryside.

Bristol has lots of history, mostly owing to the ports which were at the centre of most of England’s trade. There are many historical places of interest in Bristol, and although most of the city is modern, there are still cobbled streets and medieval architecture. The most popular places of interest may be the Bristol City Museum, Bristol Zoo and the SS Great Britain, the first steamship to have an iron hull, in its dry dock alongside the Floating Harbour, best viewed from Cabot Tower on Brandon Hill.

Bristol is famous for its film and music industries with many national programs being filmed or based in Bristol. Also there is a large independent music scene, which is supported by a many of the smaller, more traditional pubs. The Hole in the Wall pub near Queen Square is said to have been the inspiration for the Spyglass Inn in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.

There is certainly no shortage of places to keep up a healthy a social life in Bristol. From nightclubs on boats to tapas bars or coffee bars at the docks, there will be plenty of individual establishments to choose from no matter which cobbled side street you are on! Try the Walkabout in Corn Street or one of the oldest pubs in town the Llandoger Trow, the inspiration for a lot of the characters for the book Robinson Crusoe. No matter what your style is there is something for everyone, individuality is certainly a big part in Bristol.
