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."
"Formerly the residence of a prominent Bristolian merchant from the 18th century, The Georgian House is a beautifully preserved Enlightenment-era structure that now functions as a living history museum. Chronicling the history of Bristol’s days as a trading hub, including its role in the Atlantic slave trade, visitors will get a chance to see what life was like at the dawning days of a globalised Britain. Despite its age and historical character, the Georgian House has been fitted to ensure that all its guests are free to explore at their leisure."
"If you wondered what life was like in Bristol in the 18th century, a visit to the Georgian House Museum just off Park Street is a great way to immerse yourself in local history. The house, once the dwelling of a slave and sugar plantation owner, is set up to resemble the 18th century, with artefacts and equipment spanning 11 rooms over four floors. It even comes with its own cold water plunge pool."
"Wells' gargantuan Gothic cathedral sits plumb in the centre of the city, surrounded by one of the largest cathedral closes in England. It was built in stages between 1180 and 1508, and consequently showcases several Gothic styles. Among its notable features are the West Front, decorated with more than 300 carved figures, and the famous scissor arches – an ingenious architectural solution to counter the subsidence of the central tower. Don't miss the High Parts Tour that heads up into the roof."
"The first cathedral in Europe designed solely in the Gothic style, Wells Cathedral was begun in 1176, and work would continue for the next 300 years. It is hailed as one of the country’s finest, and the prevailing style is Early English, evident in the fluted piers, pointed arcades and capitals with foliate designs. The cathedral’s beguiling west facade measures 46 metres across and has more than 300 sculpted figures."

"The Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution (also known as BRLSI) is an educational charity based in Bath, England. It was founded in 1824 and provides a museum, an independent library, exhibition space, meeting rooms and a programme of public lectures, discussion groups and exhibitions related to science, the arts and current affairs. There are two main activities; a programme of talks, discussions and exhibitions on science, the arts and current affairs, and the maintenance and exhibition of the extensive collection of books, fossils and artifacts."
"Located in the heart of Old Market, the Assembly is loved for its creative food menu, unique inside space and cosy in-house arts venue, but few are aware that above the main bar sits a small-but-mighty rooftop terrace. Part covered, part open-air, the bar's terrace is a true hidden gem of central Bristol, and the perfect spot to watch the sun go down over the skyline. Find out more and get in touch with the team regarding April bookings via the Old Market Assembly website."
"This exciting cultural space wears many hats – a restaurant, artisan bakery, café, live music venue, home to The Wardrobe Theatre, a cocktail bar and its very own sun-catching roof terrace. Catch some sunshine while sipping on tipples from Bristol’s finest local brewers, winemakers, cider producers and distillers. They’ve even got their own gin (made by Bristol’s own Psychopomp) – it would be rude not to!"
"Known for its live music events, the Old Market Assembly is a favourite amongst locals, not least for its charm and lively atmosphere. You can make your way up to the veranda, which is part covered and so perfect for unpredictable British weather conditions."
"Then head down to Wapping Wharf where you’ll find Mokoko Coffee and Bakery, which serve heavenly bakes such as cinnamon swirls, hazelnut pain au chocolat and white chocolate and strawberry Danishes, as well as specialty coffee. Mokoko, who has branches in Bath and Portishead too, also offers their own freshly ground coffee that you also enjoy at home plus their own homemade chai blend. You can’t go wrong with a baked pastry made fresh that day and a warming cup of coffee, luckily you can half both from this café and bakery."
"Mokoko is another great café in Wapping Wharf with an open-plan bakery, serving plenty of excellent cakes, coffee and pastries. I’m a big fan of their danishes."

"Cakesmiths is a Bristol-based cake baker of national renown, its cakes appearing in coffee shops up and down the country. Old friends of the Coffee Spot, Cakesmiths and I have a symbiotic (parasitic?) relationship: I go to coffee festivals and Cakesmiths feeds me cake… However, other than stalking Cakesmiths at festivals, you haven’t been able to get its cakes fresh from the baker’s hand, so to speak. So, imagine my surprise and delight when, in May this year, Cakesmiths opened its very own coffee shop, called Bakesmiths, on Bristol’s Whiteladies Road."
"Why: This bakery, coffee shop and brunch spot hybrid is a favourite among hipsters and we’re not surprised. The clean lines, wooden touches and mismatched counter makes for a fun and homely feeling – the perfect spot for an early morning breakfast of freshly baked pastries or a late brunch after a weekend lie-in. On the menu, expect the vegan skillet with beans, peppers and avocado."
"Great coffee found on Whiteladies Road, and with an added bonus Bakesmiths have started selling Gelato ice cream, as well as their fabulous bread and coffee. Address: 65 Whiteladies Road, BS8 2LY"
"Smoke & Mirrors on Denmark Street is open six days a week, playing host to a wide range of entertainment over that time. Not only is it a traditional pub serving local real ales and ciders, but also the centre of Bristol’s stand-up comedy scene and home to one of the most popular regular shows in Bristol: The House Magicians Comedy & Magic Show. It also welcomes live music acts every weekend and its kitchen rustles up fantastic food including stone baked pizzas."

"Mint Room is certainly one of the best fine-dining Indian restaurants in Bristol!. They emphasise on 5-star combinations of flavours with a great sense of innovation that draws upon both traditional and modern Indian cuisine. Their a la carte menu features distinctive, adventurous and well-presented dishes partnered with a sprinkling of familiar Indian items, all exceedingly well-prepared and highly flavoursome."

"This luxurious Indian restaurant offers a beautiful combination of traditional and modern Indian dishes. Every plate is pact full of flavours with a refined fine-dinning twist. This is our favourite Bristol restaurant for an evening of elegance with a tasty yet adventurous curry with a difference."
