"Seeing the Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of the best things to do in Bristol that’s totally iconic and can’t be missed in Bristol. You see, it’s another engineering feat of Brunel and stands proudly over the River Avon. Now, it might feel like a bit of a stroll from Queen Square (about 40-minutes) but it’s well worth it for the views and to learn more about the history in the visitor centre."

The Grain Barge started its life as an engineless transport barge that carried barley and wheat from Bristol to Cardiff across the Severn Estuary, but now you can enjoy a few bevvys on board their top deck. Sipping local cider, hearing the hubbub by the waterside and taking in views of Bristol Harbour are exactly the ways you should spend a summer weekend."
