The UK is a super popular travel destination for people all around the world. While it may be small, there is an exciting range of attractions on offer, from beautiful landscapes to buzzing towns and cities. Bristol is a city in the southwest located on the River Avon and is a popular place to live or visit. Here are just three reasons to plan a trip there. 

The Harborside

Having a waterside area in a big city is perfect, as it creates a special space that is perfect to chill out in. There are plenty of restaurants and bars, as well as incredible galleries and museums to explore, or you can simply wander along by the water and watch the boats bobbing around. 

The Nightlife 

Bristol has a unique culture and atmosphere, and a big aspect of its identity is the exciting and varied nightlife. Whether you want to head to a cozy folk music gig, a standup comedy performance, or an intense dub and techno rave, there will be something to entertain all tastes. 

The Downs

As well as the water, something that makes Bristol stand out is the Downs. Based in the hilly area of Clifton, this sprawling green space is perfect to head to for a relaxing stroll or picnic. You can walk across the incredible suspension bridge which looks down on the River Avon and from there access the huge Ashton Court and Leigh Woods where you will forget you are even in a city at all.

The UK has many natural beauty spots to explore, and if you’re a fan of hiking then you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing areas to trek in. The South West of the UK offers rugged coast paths and windswept moors, but close to the city of Bristol, there is a slightly different landscape on offer—the wild and dramatic Cheddar Gorge. Offering prehistoric caves, stunning views, and some of the UK’s only feral sheep, this gorge is a must-see if you love stunning natural beauty spots. Check out these three reasons to visit Cheddar Gorge.

Prehistoric Caves

The limestone rock of Cheddar Gorge is easily carved out by rain and erosion. This has led to the creation of some of the UK’s finest caves. You will need to pay to access the caves, but the admission price includes a guide that includes plenty of fascinating information about the caves and the wider Cheddar area. One of the UK’s oldest human skeletons, named the ‘Cheddar Man’, was discovered in Gough’s Cave in Cheddar Gorge in 1903 and you can visit the Cheddar Museum of Prehistory to learn more about him.

Beautiful Views

If you’re prepared to brave the steep climb up, then the clifftop walk along Cheddar Gorge offers some stunning views. You will need to take care as some sections are narrow, but the views are definitely worth the effort. The entire circuit should take around four hours, or you can walk half of the gorge in around two hours.

Sheep and Goats

Cheddar Gorge is home to some of the UK’s only feral sheep. These Soay sheep are perfectly adapted to the steep terrain of the gorge, as are the resident goats. Even if you don’t spot any of the sheep or goats, you’re sure to hear their bleating echoing off the rocky walls of the gorge.
