Things to Do in Bristol
Start with a walking tour of the city – there are lots themed around street art, thanks to Banksy’s connection with Bristol.
Make sure your tour takes you to Brunel’s monumental Clifton Suspension Bridge, like this cycling tour does. At the bridge, check out the museum for more information.
And then head slightly out of town to Aerospace Bristol, where you can step onboard the last Concorde to fly.
As Susie says, Bristol has a full calendar of festivals and events. If you’re in the city in August, perhaps take to the sky in a hot air balloon…
In the episode, Susie also shows how you can use Bristol as a base to explore the wider region, including Bath (only 12-minutes by train), Cardiff (1 hour), Cleveden, Stonehenge…
