Clifton, Bristol
Take a stroll to Clifton, the city's most picturesque green neighborhood, after getting off the train in Bristol Temple Meads. Beautiful Georgian homes, little patches of grass to explore off the cobblestone walkways, and an eclectic mix of independent cafés, restaurants, and stores along quiet residential streets. Start by taking a look around Clifton Arcade, which is home to 17 shops and is located in the center of Clifton Village. Here, you may find interesting antiques and trinkets. Without a pit break for coffee and cake, it wouldn't be a complete shopping experience. Spicer + Cole, one of Bristol's finest coffee shops, or East Village Café, which serves only plant-based foods, are also great options.
Visit the neighborhood greengrocer to get some fresh produce, then go to Clifton Bridge for stunning views of the River Avon. One of the oldest iron suspension bridges still in existence. Visit the Visitor Center to learn about its past before stopping at the White Lion nearby for a pint of traditional Somerset cider. Continue your historical journey by ascending to Clifton Observatory, which features a museum with a Camera Obscura from the Victorian era and a fabled Giant's Cave in addition to its own rooftop café serving up stunning views. Don't forget to take a stroll along Royal York Crescent, one of Bristol's priciest streets that was once thought to have the longest terrace in Europe.
Spend time at Bristol Lido next for the ultimate in pampering. It is a restored Victorian swimming pool from the 1800s that is encircled by a spa and poolside bar. Finish the day with a warm pub lunch at The Albion, a fine-dining experience at Nutmeg that specializes in Indian cuisine, or a satisfying pizza at Bosco just around the block on Whiteladies Road.
