Bristol is a city in the South West of England on the banks of the River Avon with a rich maritime heritage and home to some of the UK's finest engineering innovations. In more recent times Bristol has developed into a bustling city with a varied cultural mix and an eclectic city centre. The 'old' Bristol sits proudly alongside the modern city and the once industrious Harbourside is is now lined with bars, restaurants, museums and art galleries from converted transit sheds and tea warehouses. Here you can find the Watershed, The Architecture Centre and the ever popular At Bristol science centre among the attractions. Also a popular university city, Bristol is an exciting mix where everyone can find something of interest.
