Spanning the Avon River Gorge, the Clifton Suspension Bridge is Bristol's most famous landmark and a free stroll across makes for a great bird's eye view of the surrounding pristine English countryside. Built in 1843, the SS Great Britain was once the pride of English ship building as the world's first steam-powered, iron-hulled passenger liner, now a dry-docked museum at the Great Western Dockyard and possibly the most visited attraction in the city.
With a re-discovered harbourside featuring cafes, trendy restaurants, bars and music venues, Bristol is best enjoyed in the summertime. Although it ranks high in English cities visited, it remains too often passed over for nearby Bath and the Welsh capital, Cardiff, keeping accommodations slightly more affordable in the process. But no matter when you go, the town that gave the world its first passenger steamship, groundbreaking musical genres trip-hop and drum n' bass and world-renowned artist Banksy, Bristol's revival from industry to creativity is truly a sight to behold.
