Well isn't Bristol full of surprises. Travelling into the area does not give you a good impression. Travel on the hop on hop off bus and the sites you see. There is a famous suspension bridge that is so high up I almost needed binoculars, go to the top of the town and there are wonderful large green parks, wide roads and Victorian houses. We heard about the bombing during WW2 and saw the skeleton of churches that were hit. The city decided motto tear them down it rather leave as a memorial for people who died. One. But h that's still operational has holes where shrapnel from a bomb hit it.
Bristolians are very proud of their city and proudly boast it has been a county since the 1300's. For hundreds of years it was the main port in England for ships entering and trading their goods.
