The great thing about Bristol is that it’s a city of conundrums with the old meeting the new, the past meeting the present and the coast, countryside and city all easily accessible. Bristol is an immense city to visit and is a great place to spend an interesting and enjoyable few days.
Things to do and see:
- Bristol Zoo Gardens – Open every day, the Bristol Zoo Gardens are a great place for all the family to visit. The Zoo features an award winning Seal and Penguin Coast in which you can have direct contact with the animals through transparent waterways.
- Cheddar Caves – Have an exciting outdoor adventure and try abseiling down the cliffs of the infamous Cheddar George. Alternatively explore the caves of Cheddar.
- Theatre – The Bristol Old Vic Theatre is one of the big names on the British theatre scene so whilst in Bristol it would be a true shame not to check out what is currently showing and go and catch a show.
