Since moving to Bristol from the North towards the end of last year, I’ve been spending my days exploring and getting to know this new city. I’ve still not quite got my head around how to get to Clifton yet, but here’s what I’ve been enjoying about my stay so far.
It’s everything you could ever want – independent shops, great bars and interesting people all in one handy street.
What’s better than a bog-standard roundabout? A pit including a fruit and veg shop and a burrito van.
Because northern girls love pie.
Colston Hall, the Hippodrome and the O2 Academy are all a stones throw from each other, not to mention all the smaller venues across the city. Whatever you’re into there’ll be something on to wet your whistle.
Home to loads of great independent bars and restaurants, Stokes Croft can play host to a wild night out, a quiet drink or a romantic meal.
No article on the best things about Bristol could go without mentioning the graffiti. The whole city is an ever-changing work of art.
All your shopping needs can be met without stepping foot into a supermarket chain. There’s loads of great vintage and charity shops too.
Have you ever seen a nicer looking bridge? Thought not.
It’s just so jolly. Even when the mechanic is telling you that your car has failed its MOT, it still makes you want to give him a hug.
Festive all year round. Bonus points to anyone that can tell me how they got their name.
I can barely walk up these bad boys, let alone ride a bike up one. They do make for nice views though.
The roads are busy and parking is a nightmare. Guess I’ll need to start riding my bike up those hills instead.
Just when I finally think I know my way round, I find a whole other undiscovered area. I was here just yesterday and I’d still struggle to find my way back.
So that’s my take on Bristol so far. If you think you can do better, get in touch with your suggestions of places for me to see or visit and I’ll go and check them out.
