A beautiful beach wood - with single track mountain bike, running and walking trails - lovely forest play for children. Great place for fresh air on a rainy day because you can wander under the tree canopy. Free parking.

Whether a big spender or a window shopper, the Clifton Arcade is one of the top things to do in the neighbourhood. This unique shopping district contains several independent boutiques selling quality antiques, jewellery, vintage clothing, furniture and more. The shops’ wonderful Victorian architecture is attributed to the self-taught architect Joseph King, who built the area in the late 1800s. The charming shops are just as ideal for perusing knick knacks and finding originals as they are for enjoying some of the best Victorian architecture Clifton has to offer.

Take a journey through time and climb aboard Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the first iron steamship to complete a transatlantic journey in 1845. The ship has been restored and conserved, now serving as a museum telling the tales and adventures of years past. Well advanced for her time, SS Great Britain was built for the Great Western Steamship Company’s passenger service form Bristol to New York, and was the longest passenger ship of her kind for a decade.

No. 51 is one of the oldest public houses in Bristol, sitting in the core of the city’s cultural quarter of Stokes Croft. The spacious venue provides ample variety within the restaurant itself – downstairs is vibrant and lively as customers dance away to the house DJs and sip on a vast selection of ales, ciders, lagers, wines and spirits. For a more relaxed vibe there is the open-air garden seating with graffiti-covered walls, or the upstairs section for drinks and pizza with a view. 51 Stokes Croft, Bristol, UK, +44 0117 914 8048
