Clifton Brigde

Bristol's 'Old City' is its historic district with several Grade I & II buildings, trendy shopping, the bustling craft beer scene, and theatres.

Built with lock gates in the 18th century to address the tides of the River Avon, the waterfront has become a focal point for travellers and locals.

Corn Street used to serve as the administrative and commercial street for the city; today it is a street lined with Grade I and Grade II buildings.

Designed by John Wood the Elder, whose other architectural masterpieces remain today in Bath and Liverpool, the Grade I listed building is now predominantly an administrative building.

When looking for the street art for which the city has become known, begin on Nelson Street and uncover the newest works on display.

Designed by Brunel, the SS GB was the longest passenger ship in the mid-19th century, and ran journeys from Bristol to New York City.
