From spices and tobacco to sugar and slaves, Bristol was built on the trade that its docks and floating harbour enabled. Thankfully, the city’s economy is based more on service than servitude these days, but the waterways around which Bristol is built remain one of its greatest assets. Bristol Packet Boats also offer guided tours around the harbour and even out into the Avon Gorge.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge spans the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods. It is much more than just a masterpiece of design and engineering. Considered to be Brunel’s greatest work, it’s an internationally recognised icon of the city. No matter how many times you’ve climbed up to Clifton Village to take a look, the giant wrought iron structure never fails to inspire sheer vertiginous awe, whatever the weather or time of year. Incredible views on a truly iconic structure - a must see!
