A City Guide to Bristol, UK
Cool and creative, Bristol is often voted as one of the UK’s best places to live in the UK, and the happiest too. There’s always been a vibrancy and edginess to the place, and although many once-neglected areas are fast becoming gentrified, this is a city that will never lose its grit.

has many faces. Swanky Clifton is all grand Georgian
mansions and greenery (a great expanse known as The Downs) crowned
by Brunel’s famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, which has spanned the
Avon Gorge for 150 years. The arty Harbourside area is home to the

community of St Pauls (which Zoopla rates as one of the UK’s top
ten of hipster hangouts) has the bohemian, graffiti-splashed Stokes
Croft on its doorstep. As you explore the area’s independent shops,

cycle of reimagining itself. There’s never been a better time to
