Why choose Bristol for your group trip?
With a vibrant art scene and filled with iconic and historic landmarks, Bristol is the ideal location for a memorable group holiday. It's the city of bridges, balloons, boats, bikes, Brunel and Banksy and there are so many amazing things to do.
Head out on a street art tour to discover the works of the city's most famous artist, Banksy. For more art fun, pop along to the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery to see a wide range of historic works of art. If you want to know more about the city's rich maritime history then pay a visit to the legendary SS Great Britain, the world's first steam-powered passenger liner.
Bristol Cathedral was consecrated in 1148 and stretches over 300 feet. It's a lovely place to explore and the grounds are perfect for a picnic.
Feeling adventurous? Then a visit to The Wave is a must. You can take to the waves for some serious surfing fun at this innovative inland wave-creating lake. Or if you want to take it easy, you can head to the Downs, a protected parkland on the edge of the city. Spanning over 400 acres, they are the perfect spot to relax, have a walk and catch up with your loved ones.
No trip to Bristol is complete without seeing Clifton Suspension Bridge. This is Bristol's most famous landmark, suspended high above the Avon Gorge and River Avon. The bridge opened in 1864 and boasts impressive views of the river and surrounding area.
If you're visiting Bristol in August then make sure you catch Bristol's International Balloon Fiesta, where you can watch 100 balloons take to the sky.
If you fancy taking a day trip away from the city, there are plenty of options in Somerset. Less than an hour from Bristol is the beautiful city of Bath. Steeped in Roman history and filled with stunning architecture and attractions, Bath makes for a great visit.
Also less than an hour away is the little city of Wells. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in attractions. Discover fine old English architecture, historical landmarks, its impressive cathedral and the exciting Wookey Hole Caves.
Cheddar is another lovely area to discover. Just 45 minutes from Bristol, you can expect rolling hills, breathtaking countryside and the amazing Cheddar Gorge. And yes, this is the birthplace of Cheddar cheese, so make sure you catch the historic cheese-making process at the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company.
