Top things to do in Bath
"About: Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of the world's greatest bridges and has been attracting visitors from all over the globe for the last 150 years. An architectural marvel, the bridge spans the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset. Facilities: A Visitor Information Centre is situated at the Leigh Woods end of the bridge."
"Where usually Clifton Suspension Bridge dominates Bristol’s skyline, you can also see some excellent views of Avon Gorge and Bristol’s rooftops from the bridge itself. Personally, we’d recommend coming here at night so that you can see all the sparkling lights of Bristol… it’s very pretty and won’t cost you a penny!. A must for first time visitors…"
"Pulteney Bridge is one of only a few bridges in the world that has shops across its full span on both sides; it also happens to be a great place to get a drink. Take a wander across first of all, to look back on lovely arches and the weir in front. Then head back for the view from the bridge itself."
"Cathedrals are always a good place to take photos and Bristol Cathedral is happy for you to snap away as long as you don't do it during a service. Again there are plenty of options available here from shooting the Cathedral from the outside on College Green or playing with the light, lines and atmospherics inside. PHOTO TIP: When shooting stained glass windows try to keep your camera as still as possible using a tripod or if you've not got one to hand, rest your camera on a pew."
"Built originally as the church of the Saint Augustine Abbey, Bristol Cathedral took almost 600 years to achieve its present form. The east end, superbly rebuilt in the Decorated style by Abbot Knowle, dates from between 1298 and 1330. The central tower and transepts were completed in the 16th century, and the nave and towered west facade are from the 19th century."
"Bristol Cathedral isn’t as large or imposing as other UK city Cathedrals, but it’s still worth visiting. Founded in 1140, Bristol Cathedral has long been a site of historical significance in the city. It’s free to enter and explore."
"To the east of Bath’s famous weir are the Beazer Gardens, with a curling maze paved into its simple green lawn and detailed mosaics depicting scenes from Bath’s history, both recent and distant. Relax on the grass after a day wandering the better-known sights. The Beazer Maze, Spring Gardens Road, Bath"
"The lawns are manicured, there are always gorgeous flower beds to admire, and they have an excellent café. It’s a place where you and your family can safely admire the weir and Pulteney Bridge, and watch the boat trips come and go. “When I visit, I am reminded of watching outdoor Shakespeare performances – with the beautiful Bath Abbey as the backdrop – and seeing Jane Austen lookalikes parading around every September."
"If you’re ready for some nature time in the midst of your Bath vacation, visit the Parade Gardens, a pleasant two-and-a-half-acre park right in the heart of Bath. It was created in 1933 on the site of the 18th-century pleasure gardens. The Parade Gardens overlook the River Avon and also offer lovely views of the Pulteney Bridge."
"Your interest towards spiritual places will get a new encouragement if you visit the Manvers Street Baptist Church and Open House Centre. The church looks truly beautiful and its structure carries a great architectural importance. Prayer and celebration are two sides of the church that you will observe here."
"The Eastwood Farm Nature Reserve is a lovely place for an afternoon stroll very close to Bristol centre. It’s located in Brislington, on the edge of the River Avon. Here, you’ll have the chance to stroll through woodland and enjoy vast open space, as well as look out for animals like kingfishers, herons, swans and squirrels."
"A Bristol micropub on Chandos Road which is opening on Saturday. Spaces will be a bit limited, But the welcome and range of ales as good as ever!"
