Must See Sights and Landmarks in Greenbank Area

"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."

"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…"

"One of only four bridges in the world with shops along both sides, this bridge was designed to impress!. Made for the fashionable crowds that would flock to the city in the 1700s, Pulteney Bridge has become one of Bath’s most iconic spots. Classically designed, over-looking the weirs of Bath, this is one of the most photographed parts of the city – a great spot for a postcard-perfect pic in addition to a little retail therapy in true Georgian style!"

"Pulteney Bridge situated on River Avon is an exceptional Palladian style designed by Robert Adam. This Palladian style, one of only four bridges in the world, is lined with small shops across its full span on both sides. This historic bridge is named after Frances Pulteney, wife of William Johnstone Pulteney, an influential man in Georgian Bath."

"Designed by famous architect Robert Adam in 1769, this is one of only four bridges worldwide to have shops across its full length on both sides. Completed in 1774, the bridge is a fine example of Palladian architecture. You can get a nice view of the River Avon from the Bridge Coffee Shop."

"Bristol Cathedral does not have quite the fame of other Cathedrals in South West cities – Bath Abbey, Exeter Cathedral and Salisbury Cathedral are far more dramatic – but it’s still an interesting place to visit. The Cathedral was consecrated in 1148, and a small part of the building still dates from the 12th century, with the Elder Lady Chapel dating from the 13th century. The rest of the building was built in the 14th century with significant restoration in the 19th century."

"Set in the stunning parkland of Brandon Hill near Park Street, Cabot tower is a 105ft tower built in 1897 to commemorate John Cabot's voyage from Bristol to North America some 400 years earlier. To shoot the tower at its best, walk into Brandon Hill and head towards the pond. This gives you a low vantage point at which to shoot upwards making the tower look even taller."

"Unusual ball of gas seen in the sky yesterday, known to cause an elevation in mood and a lens flare that would make JJ Abrams jealous. – #visitbristol #bestofbristol #bbcwest #bbcbristol #visitengland #igersbristol #swisbest #bristol_lens #iamatraveler.

"Built in 1811 as a home for retired staff from Blaise Castle, Blaise Hamlet features a small collection of buildings that remain well-preserved to this day. The hamlet is made up of nine quaint cottages laid out around the hamlet’s green, forming a picturesque scene of the English countryside. This hamlet was one of the first of its kind and is also home to an original stone sundial and water pump."

"Why we love it: Good ol’ pub grub is what you’ll get here, but this isn’t your typical British boozer. The Pump House, tucked inside a beautifully renovated Victorian pumping station, belongs to top chef Toby Gritten, who serves fish fresh from the coast, fruit and veg from nearby allotments and local brews Butcombe and Bath Ales on tap. Time Out tip: Everything on the à la carte menu is worth a go, but if you’re feeling particularly adventurous (and flush), plump for the eight-course tasting menu."

"Head to the far end of the Floating Harbour and you’ll find The Pump House in what used to be a, errr, pump house. The gin selection here is insane (over 400 apparently!) and the food is the more sophisticated end of gastropub. There’s a ferry stop just outside, and you can watch the comings and going of the harbour from your bench in the pub’s front terrace.the-pumphouse.com"
